Street interviews Dartford
I was put to a task working alongside the Youth Unity Creative Lead Paul McKenzie and Ben another Junior Reporter. The task was interviewing the people of Dartford prioritising young people and asking the community if they had any problems or concerns with their home town and what could be done to change it if they had all they money in the world.
This was my first experience within this role and meant stepping out of my comfort zone, and it made me really link in with the community, this experience improved my confidence, social awareness and communication skills, which will l hopefully lead on to further opportunities with Youth Unity
Findings
Our findings were that the people need to have a bit more excitement in the Dartford town to stop and help prevent people getting bored and then leading to getting involved in anti-social behavior illegal activity. Some of the young people said they wanted more youth provision.
