The key objectives of the LEAD programme were to explore the diverse culture of London by designing and conducting a youth survey and then to lead and manage a community event/forum raising awareness of what youth in London have to say and promoting positive cross cultural activities.
I can only say it was amazing and extremely inspiring. It was a programme for 16-18 year olds who went on a 6 month leadership course.
They also had pledge forms asking people to become role models, I filled mine in and I've agreed to do something to help.
I had the pleasure of meeting some of the Fellows and their families after the presentation, the young people their definitely have some Leaders of the future amongst them - good luck to them all.
They have a blog so you can read more at http://changewithus.blog.co.uk
I also think our Party Leader, Nick Clegg MP needs to meet them and listen to their survey presentation.
