What needs to be done to make living in Leith better for young people? The question will be posed at an event next Friday held at The Citadel by Leith Open Space.
As the organisation's Fay Young writes:
"This is a tough time to be young – jobs, training, college places and affordable housing are all hard to come by. The stereotypes of youth in the media don't help either. But you only have to walk into The Citadel building to see the fantastic wealth of creative work produced by young people."
The event will be a bit like an unconference, where there are no key speakers and an agenda grows out of ideas put forward by those taking part.
And it's not just a pointless exercise; all problems, suggestions and action points will then be shared with the Leith Neighbourhood Partnership, the local MP, MSPs and councillors.
It takes place between 1pm and 4.30pm on Friday 20 May at the Citadel Youth Centre on Commercial Street.
