the Youth Innovation Conference, will take place on Wednesday, 2^nd April 2025, at the prestigious University Academy 92 (UA92) in Manchester. 

there is the opportunity for young people to deliver a workshop at the Youth Innovation Conference. We are open to any workshop ideas the young people want to deliver, some potential topic subjects include: E-sports, technology, marketing and social media. 

We ask if you can provide a workshop title and the names of the people who will be delivering the workshop. 

The youth-led workshop will be 40 minutes long, and we’re open to ideas from the young people you’re working with on what it should cover. The workshop will be delivered by young people to an audience of like-minded young people, as well as various organisations and stakeholders. Workshops will be held in rooms that accommodate around 30 people and are equipped with tables, chairs, and projection screens.

As mentioned, there’s flexibility in how the workshop is structured. Previously successful workshops have included an introduction, an icebreaker activity, interactive exercises, group discussions, and time for Q&A at the end.

General Information

The Youth Innovation Conference is an exciting opportunity to widen the conversation surrounding young people’s views, aspirations and issues. The current situation across the country regarding the youth offer is, as we all know, fragmented and, in many ways, influenced by an adult-led or institutional agenda. 

 Young people want their voices and imaginations to influence change and for providers to have a collective vision towards better supporting their needs. Last year the Youth Innovation Conference began addressing this imbalance by involving young people and professionals in co-produced solutions to many of the pressing issues that young people face today in an exciting array of workshops and discussions. 

 £10 tickets for Organisations – You and your organisation will have the opportunity to harness young people’s energy and sense of optimism, allowing you to have open discussions with a cross-section of young people and examine how to become an even more effective provider. 

Free tickets for Young people – You will have the chance to have your voice heard and connect with a number of leading businesses from a multitude of industries. 

 Be a part of the shift in the paradigm towards greater, youth-led services and co-production.
