Young people from schools and youth groups in different parts of London are developing a series of digitial diaries', made up of photographs, sound and text clips produced by young people on each of the five themes. The project's website currently contains digital diaries looking at transport how young people travel too and from school and their views on London's transport systems, and the environment young people's views on their local areas, their housing and the impact which this has on their health. Over the next two years, the site will be built up to cover all five themes. The site also acts as an on-line resource for young people who are involved, or would like to become involved in the project, giving information about forthcoming Imagine London events, reports of previous events and direct email access to project staff. The site's interactive vote and win' section allows young people to cast their vote on topical London issues, such as congestion charges, cycle lanes and smoking in public places, using the site's downloadable information to help inform their decision.
Young people can also use the site to access a range of other related websites.
The third component of the project is a two-year programme of events. There will be one event for each of the five themes. The events are being organised by groups of around twelve young people, who take responsibility for devising the structure of the day, selecting speakers, inviting participants and hosting each event. The second objective is to link young people to London's opinion-formers so that young people's ideas are represented when policies which affect their lives are being shaped. Opinion-formers, from the GLA, London councils and health authorities as well as from relevant voluntary and private sector organisations are important targets for the project and are represented at each event.
