International Youth Day 2020

International Youth Day is a brilliant way to promote rational thinking among the youth, who are the future of this town. This is a day to celebrate the youth with their values, principles and beliefs. 

This year’s event was held virtually in conjunction with SG1 Radio. A Zoom marathon was conducted and streamed live on Social Media. We spoke with various young people of Stevenage from different communities (White, Bangladeshi, Black & Filipino), from the comfort of their homes and to comply with social distancing guidelines arising out of Covid-19. Participants shared their personal experiences of the year 2020, the effects of lockdown, home education, work life, holiday cancellations, stigma on BAME communities and concerns regarding their future. This event allowed young participants a platform to share their stories with a wider range of audience on Social Media.
