Social Network for RSA Fellows
Linking With Youth
Information
This is a group to discuss and make progress on the proposal for a fellowship-led youth linking initiative.
Mobilising the FRSA to link, in a structured way, with young people in order to provide information, advice, guidance and support.
The broad outline is to build a network of young people, and tap into existing networks, creating an active link, both live and online, between young people and the FRSA.
The motivation and focus for bringing these groups together is to:
1). develop a structured and networked approach for the FRSA to provide ongoing information, advice, guidance and support to young people throughout the country (and vice versa)
2). provide the means for young people to support each other, develop networks and partnerships, and to generate ideas, innovation, enterprise and social action
3). create the opportunity for the sharing of social capital

Hi Matt,
I wanted to introduce myself and maybe pick your brains on what you think is working well/ less well in London. I'm going to be standing for London Chair. Are you still intending to be at the event in Oxford Street today? If so, hope to see you there.
Best Wishes
Barbara

Unfortunately I won't be able to make Thursday's event. But as someone who's been a fellow since the age of 20 and currently working on a range of youth initiatives nationwide I'm very interested in how this progresses. Hopefully I'll make a meeting soon.

The latest RSAnimate is very relevant to this initiative.

Thanks David. We'll definitely be following up with Nominet, and this challenge sounds very relevant.

Thinking both of the workshop next week that Alice highlighted, and the work of this group, you might be interested in the Working Well £150,000 challenge announced by the Design Council and Nominet Trust. It is about helping young people develop their talents and make a living, using digital products and services.

By the way, we agreed that the initial working name for this project will be the RSA Fellows Youth Network.
You can read all the other decisions and agreed actions from the 1st steering group meeting in the discussion forum, 'Steering group meeting notes and reflections'.

Hi,
I'd really like to attend the meeting on the 24th but unfortunately I already have some training commitments on that date and cannot leave Yorkshire. I'd be grateful to be kept updated.
best wishes to all,
John

RSA Animate - The Big Erase

For those die-hard RSA Animate fans, here's a little glimpse at what we like to do after all that hard work. That's Andrew 'never knowingly-not-wearing-a-stripey-top' Park - the illustrator extraordinaire behind the RSA Animate images. For all those who've asked about prints and PDFs - they are available to download and buy on Cognitive Media's website. Cognitivemedia.co.uk
