Circus skills in Cwmbran
Shoppers in Cwmbran town centre found out more about the work of Torfaen Young People’s Forum during an event to raise its profile.
The Forum gives young people a voice and an opportunity to discuss and influence decisions that affect young people in Torfaen.
Shoppers were entertained by stilt walkers handing out balloons, rock bands Restricted and Juliet, a circus skills workshop and performances from Musical Youth. A song writing workshop saw young people write and then perform a song that they composed to the tune of ‘Lean on Me.’
The aim of the day was to raise the profile of the Forum and launch the new logo. The winning design with 69% of the vote was picked by young people.
Julia Rooney, Torfaen Young People’s Forum Officer, said: "The success of the day was a credit to all the young people involved and their hard work since the establishment of a marketing sub group early in March. If you would like more information call me on 01495 766473."
