Youth-led Clean-up<br />
This is the year of youth for our city and this is being<br />
promoted through our exciting Youth 19 Programme<br />
which aims to engage and highlight the<br />
positive work of young people in our city and district.<br />
In June, we had a really successful youth-led<br />
community clean-up at Longfield Embankment, Eglinton,<br />
a popular coastal beauty spot with 30 young<br />
people. This marked Coca-Cola’s Clean Coasts Week<br />
and collaboration with the Loughs Agency’s Foyle<br />
Ambassadors, St Columb’s Park Youth and Keep NI<br />
Beautiful to highlight the damage of littering and<br />
pollution on local waterways.<br />
Youth-led Community Clean-up along<br />

Take back the streets<br />
As part of Youth 19, In Your Space Circus has<br />
teamed up with UV Arts, JumpNI and Create Dance<br />
to bring Derry-Londonderry an exciting new Street<br />
Arts Festival to our city. This involves engaging<br />
young people in graffiti art, revamping disused<br />
spaces and encouraging our youth to take pride in<br />
their area.<br />
