Page 2: SYNC_GEN slidedeck

SYNC_GEN isSYNC_GEN isA programme that brings together mentors, community stakeholders and young people, along with current

up-to-date technologies to conceive an alternative to the conventional youth service.

Via an on-line platform young people will be able to initiate events, programmes and activities they want to see and participate in, in the local area. The platform supports young

people by putting them in touch with mentors and will provide a database of expertise, venues, funding avenues and relevant links to

information they may need to get projects of the ground.

The long term aspiration of SYNC_GEN is to equip young people with the skills needed

to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and to test this by inviting them to co-curate community activities.

Why Now?Why Now?

Across the country, youth centres are closing down due to spending cuts by local councils

Public discourse is beginning to reflect the importance of those aptitudes that help young people build strong and positive personal relationships

“DEVASTATED teenagers have been left reeling this week by the news that 11 Rotherham youth centres will be axed.”

“...business leaders find young people to lack 'soft skills' such as confidence, teamwork, self-motivation, networking and presentation skills.”

“20% of youth centres in England and Wales would close this year”

“After Haringey council shuts eight of its 13 youth clubs, local teenagers fear boredom will fuel violence between young gang members on the streets of north London”

Our GoalOur Goal

Make it the norm for young people to be seen as active positive influences in their communities

Establish links between different actors and stakeholders, from local businesses, young people,

community organisations

Fully utilised existing facilities and people’s skills in local areas

The youth centre is often seen as a symbol of how the community values its young people,

however a sizable amount of funding available to youth services goes towards running and

maintaining the centre.

The centre aspires to play host to a all range of activities in its admirable aim to cater for all interests attracting as many young people as

possible, but never fully satisfies requirements of any activity.
