Who we are, what we’re doing – and why
- We think young people’s voices should be heard, and the Dandelion Project was set-up in Haringey to help this happen following the riots of Summer 2011. Its articles are topical and relevant to London living.
- Experienced journalists pass on their professional skills through this project. But all stories on the Dandelion website are written by young people and all content and design decisions made with their help.
- The media has power and influence and young people are not always portrayed in a good light. The Dandelion Project helps young citizens to present their point of view effectively, to gain attention and respect.
- We have previous experience of working with young people on social action media projects, bringing out their best stories, and encouraging them to be positive problem-solving citizen
