UNITY

Aim: To celebrate ethnic diversity in Hillingdon and enable young people to learn about cultural differences

Funding: £15,000 from the Department for Children, Schools and Families

Setting up a project that's attractive to young people from 80 different ethnic groups is a tall order. But that is precisely what a team of young people from the London Borough of Hillingdon plan to do.

A team of 10 young people from various youth groups around Hillingdon are organising two events in February to bring together young people from different backgrounds to learn about each other's cultures.

The first event will be a conference on 9 February for young people, youth workers and councillors to discuss and debate issues at the local civic centre. Awards will also be given for young people who have promoted unity in their school, college or community.
