Co-pro Lab are currently undertaking engagement about Youth Work in Wales with young people aged 11-25 across Wales on behalf of Welsh Government. 

At the end of 2024 we ran a series of focus groups and you may well have been involved in these.  We would love to engage with some more young people and have created a short survey to gather ideas and feedback.  

You can find the survey here:-https://form.typeform.com/to/lZ4LXGJK

We have some limited capacity to fit in some additional focus groups before the end of February if this is of interest.

If you have any questions or would like some further information please let me know becky@copronet.wales

Following the success of last week’s face-to-face sessions for professionals and members of the community on extremism and radicalisation, additional online sessions have been arranged in order for those who were unable to attend last week to join and find out more about extremism and radicalisation.

With the current trend in radicalisation cases getting younger, and the internet and social media being a major factor, these sessions are key in helping to provide professionals and parents/carers with increased knowledge around the current radicalisation tactics, with a particular emphasis on social media use.

To sign up for any of the free, two-hour online sessions that are taking place next week and to gain valuable knowledge and contribute to creating a safer community for everyone, please select one of the links below:
