Youth Consultation Peterborough Youth Service 2003 - 2004 Report National Visitors to the Young People’s Office! As the Young People’s Office is quite unique in what it does, we tend to get a lot of outside interest. This year we have had many visitors come to the Young People’s Office. A group of young people from South End Essex Youth Service came up to visit the office. They came to see what young people get up to in Peterborough and see why the Young People’s Office was so important. The young people had a great time and enjoyed talking to other people their age. Another group of young people from Cambridge came to see the Young People’s Office. They had a blast of capturing Peterborough in words and digital photos. Youth Consultation split up into groups and each person from YCP looked after a group and took them around town to take photos. It was great fun and once again everyone enjoyed the day out. Youth Consultation had a visit from two German youth workers to see what youth work and youth participation was all about. They were extremely impressed by how Youth Consultation was run and very taken aback at how successfully we work with adults. They explained that it was very different back in Germany. A Scottish youth worker from Stirling came down to Peterborough to look at what we were doing with PYPIN. This is because he had seen what we were going to attempt to do with PYPIN on our web site and was trying to do a similar thing in Scotland. He was very interested in our work and I think he left with some good ideas on how his website could develop. The Lord and Lady Mayor of Peterborough visited the office to see what Youth Consultation was all about, and they had a great time. We explained how Youth Consultation worked and what good it did for Peterborough and the young people in Peterborough. The Mayor seemed to think youth consultation was a great idea and enjoyed his visit. Youth Consultation has also been visited by the police, Councillors, Connexions workers and youth workers from all around Peterborough, young people and adults, friends and family. All the visits we have had have been successful, have built bridges and help us to work in partnership with other organisations.
