The National Youth Agency has developed dedicated web pages to archive a range of examples of neighbourhood renewal in action, produced by young people.

Since December 2003 teams of young people, known as Roving Reporters, have taken part in national neighbourhood renewal events to record them and promote the profile of children and young people.

The NYA co-ordinated the Roving Reporters work in partnership with Youth Consultation Peterborough, YouthBank UK and Mouth That Roars film company and many local groups.

The reporters produce newsletters and short film pieces, often distributed and shown at the close of conferences.

The archive acts as a useful information source for anyone who has attended these events, providing a chance to look back and reflect on progress made and to pass onto others brief insights about the learning and impact of neighbourhood renewal.

The conference materials are in date order, with the most recent first on the list. The newsletters are only four pages long, full of head-to-head interviews with key conference delegates, case studies of good practice and challenging conference snippets.

The short films should be accessible from most computers, PC or Mac, and have been produced by young people themselves from Mouth that Roars and Youth Information Peterborough.

To access the Roving Reporter archive, visit the web site at www.nya.org.uk/neighbourhoodrenewal and select the Roving Reporters page.
