Project Safe Space North West

File description: 
This document is a set of instructions for delivering a youth work programme to give young people a safe space to talk about violent extremism and terrorism. It was designed by young people at conference, so that youth organisations can work with young people to deliver similar work based on the learning from this event.
File detailed information: 
This project started through a conference for young people from across the North West which took place in spring 2009. It was part of a series of similar events across the country. The conference aimed to give young people a safe space to talk about violent extremism and terrorism initiated by young people through the work of the North West Regional Youth Work Unit, UK Youth Parliament and supporting Youth Services. It was designed and delivered by young people who identified as being from predominantly “White British” and “Muslim British” backgrounds working with support from youth workers from Youth Services across the North West. It consisted of a programme of workshops and activities followed by a debate between young people and decisions makers such as Senior Police Officers. Many of the young people who attended the event, expressed a desire to deliver similar events in their own areas.The programme can be delivered by professionals working with young people or, groups of young people can be supported to deliver it to their peers.
