Do you have ideas about what could improve young people’s sense of belonging in Camden? 

We’re looking for young people, aged 13 -15 living in Camden, who are interested in exploring and creating practical solutions to improve young people’s mental health.

Over 11 small circle sessions, we’ll be using creative techniques, like printmaking, collage, illustration and stitch, to explore the theme of ‘Belonging’. This theme has been chosen by young people, as something that really matters to them.  

You’ll work together to design something practical (like a campaign or new approach) and share this with Camden Council for them to take forward. 

Why take part?

We are looking for young people who are committed to attending all 11 sessions of the programme, young people will be paid £15 per hour in vouchers for their involvement in this project. There’ll be food and drink, and travel costs with be refunded. 

You’ll meet new people, build lots of new skills and get a certificate that you can use in college or job applications. Once you have registered for a place on Plinth, we’ll be in touch to arrange a time to talk you through the project in more detail.
