Join young people with lived experience of care from right across Northern Ireland for a fun outdoor festival this August.The festival will be in three zones:Ideas ZoneWe want to hear about the issues that matter most to you. The engagement zone features a range of stands, exploring young people’s experiences, opinions and ideas about issues around being in care, leaving care and life after care. Education, health, policing and justice, accommodation and housing- we want to hear about the things that matter to you.What you tell us in the Ideas Zone will help create our manifesto for change, ahead of the Northern Ireland Assembly Election next summer.Fun ZoneIt’s been a long time since we were all able to be together. The pandemic has been tough for everyone, so now we can meet up safely, we want to have some fun!We have giant inflatable games, a gaming bus (including VR), a petting farm and more!
