On International Youth Day, members of Northampton’s Youth Forum will manage the social media accounts of West Northamptonshire Council for a day. The initiative, aimed at highlighting issues affecting young people, will include posts and TikToks on topics like ethnicity and age discrimination. This event, organized by the United Nations since 2000, celebrates the contributions of youth in various fields. Participants, including Sarah and Florence, expressed that the project has increased their awareness of the impact of words and provided a platform to challenge stereotypes. The Youth Forum, consisting of members aged 13 to 19, advocates for local youth and engages in decision-making processes.
