Name: Youth Innovation Conference
Organisation: Sporting Communities
The Youth Innovation Conference, held at Manchester’s University Academy 92 in January, embarked on a bold mission to initiate meaningful conversations between adults who hold power and the younger generation. Influencers and innovators were invited to an intergenerational gathering to share insights into their experiences and the impactful work within their specialist fields. Speakers included Mike Kent, the founder of Kitlocker, Mark Lawrie, chief executive of StreetGames, Yvonne Harrison, from Foundation 92 and Naomi Beckles, from Sport England.
