the young programme
Prestwick
The Young Programme (established in 2002) exists to develop the communication
skills and broaden the horizons of people in the early stages of their working
lives. It does so through an annual series of residential courses, each of three
days' duration, in which delegates are encouraged to think and talk freely about
the big issues facing us as a society. Through discussion and dialogue, the
personal testimonies of inspiring speakers, and the delegates' own presentations
on questions of 'current interest or controversy', the programme helps to build
confidence, stimulate debate, and increase awareness of the world around us
