WHAT'SINSIDE?
We hope you enjoy your copy of The
Street magazine. It has been
published by the Coventry Telegraph
in partnership with Coventry Youth
Services and has come from an
original arts project called Pieces of
Mind.
Young people met together and
thought about what the government
project `Every Child Matters', meant
to them. From this art project, it was
suggested that we put together a
newspaper for young people which
we have published twice called `Youth
Times'. This has now evolved into this
magazine `The Street' which will be
published four times a year.
We want this magazine to have lots
of features in it and they should be
about what is important to you and
give you information about what is
happening in Coventry.
We would hope that more groups of
young people would like to contribute
to the next edition � this is your
chance to tell other people about the
positive things you have been
involved in, what your views are and
what information you need to get on
in life.
We need to know what you would
like in it � maybe a What's On page,
some artwork displays or a letters for
example.
Please e-mail your suggestions to
April Donnelly of the City Council at
april.donnelly@coventry.gov.uk or
martina_irwin@coventrytelegraph.net.
