New opportunities for young Londoners – An invitation from the Mayor
The State of London Debate brings Londoners together to discuss key concerns affecting them. This year’s debate will focus on one of the most important issues facing the capital – how to increase opportunities for young Londoners and help young people share in the city’s success.
One of my first acts as Mayor was to create a new role of Deputy Mayor for Young People and appoint Ray Lewis to do this job. Actor and documentary maker Ross Kemp and Munira Mirza the GLA’s new Director of Policy, Arts, Culture and the Creative Industries will join us and Jennette Arnold of the London Assembly will chair the event.
The State of London Debate is your chance to discuss with us what you think is best about London and what you think our priorities should be for the next four years. I hope you will be able to join me, and help mould London’s future.
This event will discuss issues of interest to young people, and we wish to encourage the attendance and contribution of young Londoners to the debate. However, anyone wishing to attend under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult (e.g. parent, teacher or carer).
Where: Central Hall Westminster
When: 25th June 7pm – 9pm
Registration closes on Friday 20th June and spaces are limited.
