RSA London: Youth culture – who holds the narrative?

We warmly invite you to join us for a panel discussion and World Café group conversations on Thursday 30th January 2020.

In today’s media, issues such as knife crime, gun violence, school exclusions and county lines are often connected to discussions around youth violence. This January, you are warmly invited to a participatory event hosted by Music Relief, to explore the complex ways in which these issues interconnect.

Music Relief, led by Magdalene Adenaike FRSA, is a charity which empowers young people to have a positive voice and become the best version of themselves. Their work engages young people through social action programmes and allows them to take charge, and express themselves creatively, positively and productively.

Join us to hear from professionals in this field, community activists and young people taking part in the Music Relief programme. The panel discussion will start promptly at 18:15. After this, attendees will be invited to contribute their own ideas and perspectives, and share them with the room.
