Connect with citizenship event - South West

South West event pictureOn 12 June 2007 an event entitled ‘Connect with citizenship’ took place in the South West. Further details about the event are available on the promotional flyer, leaflet and booking form that were designed for the event.

The aims of the events were to provide opportunities for citizenship staff from schools and colleges, youth workers, training providers and employees from other organisations doing citizenship work with young people to have an opportunity to network, obtain resources and make contact with organisations that can help facilitate citizenship work.

Staff were on hand to discuss their citizenship work with delegates and to identify opportunities for collaborative working.
