Feedback from previous attendees of the Youth at the Heart from the Start Masterclass:

"I really liked the opportunities for discussion and hearing from other organisation's perspectives... breaking down co-production and how it can be implemented."

"Examples of power imbalances and troubleshooting were a good idea"

"I hope to use my learning in future programming planning. recognition of good work taking place and value of it. suggestions and stories from participants in room....

... it was great - especially for being designed by young people"

"Learning about the different coproduction methods and approaches to youth engagement."
