Young People
A resilient Blackpool – where young people see the difference,
feel the difference and are the difference
Blackpool’s young people are co-leading the ‘Resilience Revolution’ and there are a wide range of opportunities for young people to get involved and lead. Some examples include
volunteering, traineeships, apprenticeships and pathways into paid employment
a range of organised groups that are core to the Resilience Revolution mission – leading the movement, researching our activity and changing the odds through collective campaigns
co-delivering training for the education, health, social care and community sector workforce
taking part in activities and programmes delivered in youth clubs, cultural education and youth voice networks which are applying a resilience lens to practice
