Emrys Green said… Hi Matt,
I wanted to get in touch to see if we could meet sometime soon regarding the FRSA youth network. As in my comment I am developing a national youth network which is funded and has infrastructure in place- there could be a strong link here. My personal interest goes further and should align with what I've read in the documents and comments as I own a digital media company- so am generally considered pretty tech savvy- and earlier this year I wrote the Social Enterprise for Young People training course on behalf of the Catalyst Consortium - the DfE funded business support programme. This is currently on national rollout.This does feel to be a project that not only would i hope to bring a lot to, but one that I would love to help flourish. I am also keen to get more involved in the RSA having done little to embrace the community since joining last year- and I really can't see a better project.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
