Young Citizens Action Event
The Young Citizens Action event was held at Westminster Central Hall on Thursday 10th July. Nearly 2000 young people took part in debates and discussions with top BBC journalists including Andrew Marr and Huw Edwards, business leaders such as Sir Mike Rake (Chairman of BT), and writers Hardeep Singh-Koli and others.
The aim of this unique event was to inspire the young people of London to take an active interest in politics and citizenship, and to find out what they feel are the biggest challenges faced by young adults in the 21st century.
Ask Boris
To identify the most important issues for young Londoners we asked them:
"If you could ask Boris to change one thing what would it be?"
Winners of the prize draw
Every question to Boris went into our prize draw to win one of five JVC digital video cameras, and the lucky winners are:
- Suhar Jama
- Ade Ogunfidodo
- Americo Congo
- Rosie Thomas
- Marian Asante
The Better World Campaign team would like to thank all of the young people for their entries. Hopefully the winners will send us some footage for our Gallery >>
