Truth about Youth – North East was The Co-operative Foundation’s five year project across the North East region, delivered in partnership with Youth Focus: North East to challenge and change the widespread negative perceptions of young people and to break down barriers between different generations.
The Truth about Youth – North East programme finished in December 2014 after a successful 5 years. Throughout the 5 years of the programme we had 824 young people actively participating in our work, 11,000+ young people involved in one off events and 5700 adults involved in one off events. We engaged 451 adults in our intergenerational programmes and generated 240 pieces of positive media coverage. 219 young people were involved in planning and decision making within the project.
