9. Aspirations Don’t want to work hard Don’t want to achieve or work or contribute I have never met a young person who doesn’t want success, a job, a good life Young People don’t know what it is to achieve Role models & examples Celebrating success & valuing achievement

10. Final Words "There is demonisation of youth throughout the media. People fall for it. If you had no direct contact with the kids how can you judge them?“ "How did we get to a society that cares more about shops and businesses than lives of young people.“ "You've got kids that do not feel part of society & they start rioting & looting. Taking things society says are the most important things.“ "Find out what these kids are good at, what they care about, what they like, and draw it out of them” because it will change lives."
