Adolescence: What have we learnt? In March 2025, the Netflix series Adolescence sparked widespread conversation about the hidden lives of young people, raising important questions about the support we provide to the youth in our care. Three months later, what have we learned? Regardless of how we engage with young people, there's valuable insight to be gained from this powerful story. We’d like to share the key takeaways and reflect on how we can better support the next generation. How the day will go Join us at 9.30 for coffee and pastries, before we hear from a guest speaker on the impact Adolescence has had on their context. Following a short coffee break we will then have time to explore how we can each respond, using the Open Space Technology conference tool to create opportunities for the conversations that will help us to move forward appropriately. We will end with lunch at 12.30pm. Key Information We will be gathering at Youthscape in Luton, which is conveniently located next to Luton Train station, for those traveling by train.
