Welcome to the iTownMyTown Project

The iTownMyTown project, part of Yorkshire Forward's Partnership Skills Programme, was been launched to give young people - often excluded from such consultations - a much-needed voice on the future of where they live.

The hi-tech project is being run by the MBED Partnership, which was set up by the Creative Industries Development Agency (CIDA) in Huddersfield and Public Arts, in Wakefield to aid the delivery of the Yorkshire Forward Partnership Skills Programme, helping Town Teams to deliver their ambitious plans for the future.

With the help of the iTown Creative team, the iTown project has visited 5 towns in Yorkshire to present a series of workshops using multimedia software, podcasting technology, soundbytes, video diaries, and online podcasts

As part of the Partnership Skills Programme, the Town Teams will involve the youth of Yorkshire towns to actively participate in making change both personally and for their town
