Hide AdZoya Stott, project manager of UK legacy programmes at Common Purpose UK, said: “This is a great opportunity for them to join a generation of change makers to shape the future of Sheffield and answer the challenge question ‘How do we work together to create a fair, inclusive and healthy Sheffield?’”
She told how a number of young people had already signed up to the programme, however, it is an ‘ambition’ to see 100 people sign up.
Zoya added: “We have a great programme, coming together with senior leaders joining us from the council, housing, media and the arts to name a few.”
Those taking part will come from all walks of life in Sheffield, coming together to discuss issues and ideas, testing and presenting these to leaders in the city.
