Shaping your youth service

Young Tower Hamlets held a second series of ‘Hackathon’ events in November and December 2023 for LGBQTI+ young people, SEND young people up to the age of 25 and Somali boys and girls.

The sessions were co-produced with young people and featured activities designed to stimulate discussion, generate ideas, and provide young people with an opportunity to contribute their vision for the youth service in a fun and engaging way. 

Activities during the SEND session included: 

• Debate game: To break the ice, the sessions started with a ‘debate’ game, where young people could respond to discussion topics that they agreed or disagreed with. This game enabled young people to start talking and sharing ideas to create a fun and engaging atmosphere.  
• Identifying needs and wants: Young people identified issues that matter to them and gave their views on opportunities and activities that would most meet their needs.  
• Presenting their perfect youth service: Once young people had discussed their wants and needs, they were then challenged to design their dream youth service. In small groups they used creative methods to design and present their visual representations of an amazing future youth service.  

Thank you to all of those who got involved in this SEND hackathon event. All of the feedback from this session will be used to shape the Young Tower Hamlets youth service moving forward.
