The Raise Your Potential project, started in 2006 in the West Midlands, and funded by the Big Lottery, works with young people aged between 11 and 16 years of age who showed an interest in learning new skills and who wanted to do something in their own community that would benefit other local young people. The aim of this project was to develop young people’s skills in facilitation, media and research, to enable them to lead, deliver and run their own events. Based on the lessons learnt from the project, this resource toolkit is aimed at workers or project leaders, who wish to train or support young people in facilitation, research and media. Activities include: working together; communication; research; facilitation; project planning; and evaluation.
