Back to newsYoung voices speak up on Review, Rename, Reclaim, plus another event this Thursday!
On Monday 22 March, we held an event for young people from Hackney between the ages of 16-25 on Review, Rename, Reclaim. This space sought to give context to the Review, give an update on progress so far and gain the insight of young people on the project and how the Council can improve engagement with young people.
The event had a great turnout with thought-provoking and inspiring discussion along with practical solutions. Below are some comments which were made in response to why the Review, Rename, Reclaim project is important.
“In this information age, it is our legacy as young people to make Hackney more representative and to raise awareness of the past.”“Hackney belongs to all of us and we should live in a place that stands for equality.”“We have to understand the cultural heritage of our community.”We were delighted with how engaged our attendees were and how much we learned from sharing each other's thoughts.
We are holding another session for young people this Thursday 25 March 2021, to register visit https://bit.ly/CRG_YH
