Young People: Our Future

Liberate is an equality charity that welcomes people irrespective of gender, race, age, religious belief, ability, sexual orientation or gender identity. We were founded in February 2014 in Guernsey and have a branch in Jersey.The purpose of Liberate is to educate and inform on a wide range of minority issues and to support those who identify as part of a minority or visible minority, their families and friends. We campaign to reform policies and laws to ensure that minorities can enjoy the same freedoms as everyone else across the Channel Islands. We also question social attitudes and behaviours that discriminate against minorities, and offer advice and help in tackling racism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, etc.Liberate’s vision is simple. We believe in a fair and equal society, where everyone is born equal and free, and treated with dignity and respect.

Fiona Vacher (Jersey Child Care Trust) and a Youth Parliament panel examine the issues facing Jersey's young people.

Jersey Museum - AV Theatre

The issues facing young people in Jersey are not always the issues that adults in positions of power think they are.Adults may think the biggest issues are around lack of job opportunities, lack of affordable housing, and pressure to achieve in examinations. Young people are worried about these things, but they are also concerned about climate change, body image, materialism, home life, negative stereotyping, equality, crime, substance abuse, and the pressures of being connected 24 hours.This is an opportunity to find out from Jersey's youth representatives what it means to be young in Jersey, how they feel about the future of their Island and the issues that come up in education.Members of Jersey's Youth Parliament lead this examination of the issues. Includes audience Q&amp;As.
