What is the Revision Initiative?
Youth Voice Canterbury are excited to kick off their newest project, the ReVision Initiative. We're seeking to create tangible ways for local young people to have their say on places and space in their communities.
Youth Voice Canterbury have tools to support young people to audit places and spaces that are or will be used by young people to ensure that it is youth friendly and meeting the needs of Canterbury rangatahi. The aim of the ReVision Initiative is to train 50+ young people from around the region to be Youth Audit Team Leaders for the ReVision Initiative.
From Kaikoura down to Timaru, Youth Voice Canterbury will train young people to be able to use these tools, and support youth-led audits in their local communities. Team Leaders aren't the only ones to complete the audits however, but will lead teams of local young people who actually use the space to audit spaces and places. The team leader will then report back to to the owners and managers of the audited space with their recommendations, supported by Youth Voice Canterbury.
