Started in 2018, NottsYouthTrends has been led by Nonsuch Studios as part of our mission to empower creativity and access to opportunity. This year NottsYouthTrends is hoping to hear from the largest number of under 25s from across the city and county as possible to create the broadest understanding of what it's like to be a young person living and working in Nottinghamshire today.
We're also thrilled to announce that the programme is being supported by the University of Nottingham's City as Lab programme, which will enable us to host workshops and insight sessions with groups of under 25s from across the county to unpack, expand upon and delve deeper into the findings as the survey results come through.
The survey which collects anonymous data from any 11-25-year-old from across Nottinghamshire opens today and will collect submissions until Friday 14th June 2024. The data will then be analysed by the NottsYouthTrends team and lead to the creation of a report which will shared at a youth-led launch event in early November.
Send them to nottsyouthtrends.com where they can fill in the survey in around 20-30 minutes. Anyone aged 13-25 can fill it in on their own and those aged 11 & 12 should fill it in with adult supervision and permission.
