The Children and Young People Theme
is all about ensuring that the opinions and concerns of
children and young people are heard as our young
people are the future decision makers of our community.
At the first Theme Workshop it was decided that we needed
more children's activities, better use by children of the
Central Library, greater participation in NDC decision-making
and generally more opportunities for children and young
people to get involved.

Children's
Activities Project
Various
children's activities take place through this project mainly
at the Lynnfield and Stranton Centres. A small project
development fund allows one off activities particularly
for children most in need. A funding contribution
to the Central Library helps provide children's activities
during the school holidays. A project co-ordinator
oversees the project and coordinates all out of school activities
for children over the NDC area.

Youth Project
This project has transformed derelict premises in York Road, Hartlepool into a Youth Cafe, housing an internet suite, a ‘chill out’ area, and advice and guidance facilities.
The project, known as ‘C@fe 177’, is important not only for the young people, but for the whole NDC programme. It provides a means for young people to ensure their voice is heard and enable them to play an active and leading role in the development of the NDC programme.
Young people have led the project from the start, with the design team working on building layout, whilst others have taken an active part on the Board of the newly formed company, Hartlepool Youth Limited. |
| |
Young people from NDC worked with interior design company Big Blue on ideas for their cafe. They visited other cafes, clubs and venues in Hartlepool and Teesside, and were given creative guidance and encouraged to put their own design ideas forward. These design workshops produced a set of concepts that have been incorporated into the final design created in York Road.
