Aik Saath's tenth birthday Slough conference helps set community cohesion agenda
Aik Saath will celebrate their tenth birthday by launching a new and innovative research report on ‘Community Cohesion and Young People’. The event will take place on Friday April 4th.
The Slough conference will look at how community cohesion work has developed over the past ten years and the original documentary, The Peacemaker, shown on channel 4 over ten years ago, from which Aik Saath was born, will be screened. The highlight of the conference will be the launch of a new research report. The report will take a fresh new approach by training young people to carry out the research with other young people.
“We’re so delighted to be celebrating our tenth birthday with the launch of a new report that will set the agenda for work on community cohesion and young people.” Rob Deeks, Aik Saath
Speakers for the event include MP Fiona Mactaggart, Thames Valley Police, and Selmah Chaudhary who featured in the original documentary and Aik Saath. The event is being supported by Thames Valley Police and the Runnymede Trust will be supporting the research. The findings will be compiled into a special research report which will be released towards the end of this year.
