Overview

What is included?

The card deck encapsulates the dynamic framework of youth participation co-design! This card deck is packed with reflective questions intended to be used at various stages of the co-design process: before, during and after. The primary goal of this card deck is to serve as the ultimate companion for anyone involved in the planning, execution, supervision or evaluation of youth participatory initiatives.

Coaching Session: Your registration includes 1 x 60 minute one-on-one coaching session or with a team of 2-3, if enrolling together, with Imani Clough-Brown to discuss how to implement what you’ve learned into your work.

We have two training dates scheduled for 2025 . We'll notify you when the dates are released. We expect training to begin from early Summer 2025. Please complete the expression of interest form early, and we will be in touch when the dates go live to secure your spot.

Imani delivered a three part youth participation training with our organisation. The sessions covered youth participation from introduction to evaluation and were curated to our needs. Imani also shared multiple useful tools for delivering and facilitating sessions with young people. Overall, the sessions focused on delivering youth participation in a truly inclusive way and I would definitely recommend Imani to any one on the youth participation journey. Thanks!
