On the 20th July 2010 we held a special community panel meeting for the students at Pendle Vale College. The idea was to decide how to spend their participatory budgeting. The group discovered what the project was about by playing 'Top Trumps' - sounds funny i know, but the idea was to select a picture of a job role and score it by looking at whether they need to go to university, its a physical job, paid well or not etc. The young people and parents also interviewed role model, Attique, and created road maps, for example looking at different paths of life and how they may affect us positively and negatively.
At the end the group had a debate on how they would like to spend the money - it had to relate to Inspiring Communities. They decided to do several activities relating to jobs, road maps, and extra curricular activity and film the process so they can show other students in Pendle Vale that we can reach our potential!
