Connecting young people and the business community
Blackburn Youth Zone online programme grows, as we’re reaching out to the business community to see how they can help provide learning experiences for young people from across the town, by sharing their industry lead expertise, skills and experiences to help teach others.
This project is delivered via digital platforms through masterclasses, which will invite young people from all backgrounds to participate within a 1-hour workshop around a specific topic/interest. This is for school years 9 – 11 and will run every Wednesday 2pm – 3pm.
If you are interested in taking part please contact enquiries@blackburnyz.org or message on Facebook @blackburnyz or if you are a school contact leon.crosby@blackburnyz.org
