SFP Local Food Partnerships Representing Young People Workshop

How do you represent young people in local food partnerships?

This is a workshop for members of Sustainable Food Places to share experiences, successes, challenges and lessons learned about trying to meaningfully engage young people in food partnerships. It is a chance to come together and reflect on how you engage with and represent young people, one of the key communities underrepresented in food partnerships.

Linking to the new Framework for Action, Inclusion and Representation (FAIR Food), which works toward building fair and resilient food systems, this workshop aims to begin a process of strengthening engagement with, and representing, young people.

The session will give you an opportunity to:

• Think about challenges and obstacles for young people

• Explore how to address the underrepresentation of young people in decision-making structures

• Share experiences with partnerships from across the UK

• Think about what you could do in your area
