Black Youth Forum
A safe space, focused on Revealing, Questioning, and Dismantling. A starting point in our fight to dismantle racist systems, this project creates youth driven space that amplifies youth voices and explores resolutions to overt and systematic racism. The forum will specifically explore racism and the intersectionalities of racism, looking at its unique impacts on black women and members of the LGBTQ+ community. A space that supports black youth engagement and understanding of Global politics, Diplomacy and policy thinking. Join us every Saturday morning via zoom.

Elevate Young Minds Black Youth Forum is part of a Research collaboration with CAHN led by MaCTRI (MEaP Academy Community Training and Research Institute). Our research project is funded by Young Manchester.
Young Manchester is committed to working with others to tackle racial injustice that impacts on children and young people’s lives and to establishing clear, coherent approaches to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion within the Youth and Play sector. Young Manchester is seeking to support Black Young People’s voices and the expertise of Black Youth Workers. They want to hear directly from Black Young People and Youth Workers about their experiences in the city, so that they can directly inform future plans for youth and play work and attract further investment to support their needs and strengths.
Learning from this project will support and inform the Youth and Play sector, it is their hope and expectation that recommendations from this work will lead to action, including informing future funding and grant programmes led by Young Manchester and others.
This survey has been developed to gather anonymous information that will enable us to gain a better insight into the voices of young people, results of this research will be soon published via Young Manchester.
It all started when…
A short trailer that has been curated by our Black Youth Forum on the basis of questions we created based on understanding the black experience. Leave suggestions and ideas in the comments for future projects you'd like to see. This is a development opportunity for our team as we continue to play with film as a tool for conversation making. 2022 will see the development and publication of more interviews and documentaries.
