T4P are pleased to partner with the British Council to deliver their Active Citizens Programme in Leeds…

Active Citizens connects organisations and people (especially young adults) involved in local initiatives that benefit their community. It aims to provide them with tools and assistance to develop their cross-cultural engagement skills, to run social action projects in their local area, to gain an international perspective on community-led development and to share ideas and practice with international professional networks.

Active Citizens 2012 – This year we are partnering with Oblong, who are delivering a series of workshops from the end of January and working with groups on grassroots social action projects. We are recruiting up to 30 individuals to take part. See flyer for further details.

Active Citizens 2011 – This programme featured a 3 day training workshop, a learning journey to Leeds by participants from Romania and Estonia (where connections were made with the organisations listed below), and a week long trip for our participants to Romania. Some of the group are now developing their own ‘Safer Driving community project’ with young people in Chapeltown. Thanks to Jimbo’s Fund for contributions towards this.

Many thanks to The British Council and to all our partners and supporters on the programme: REEMAP, RETAS, City of Sanctuary, Get Away Girls, Yorkshire Cricket, Positive Futures, the Lazor Centre Armley, n:fuse, Peace Studies Bradford, West Bowling Youth Project, Women of Peace, Peace Jam, Chapeltown Development Trust, Hamara, South Leeds Academy, Lady Pit Lane Gurdwara, Hardy Street Masjid, Churches Together in Beeston, the Mayor and many more.
