South Norfolk Youth Action (SNYA)
Summary
Do you want to have your say on things that affect you?
South Norfolk Youth Action (SNYA) is an independent and enthusiastic panel of young people in South Norfolk, who campaign to raise the profile of 11-25 year olds.
The group have already created their own website, contributed to the redevelopment of the Council’s website and had their say in budget discussions. They are involved in numerous exciting community projects and recently designed an elephant for the Go Elephants! public art event.

Further information
Local democracy week (13-17 October)
We invited young people from accross the district to come along and take part in this exciting annual event. They got to know their councillors better and gained a greater understanding of what goes on at the council. There were many stalls and exhibitors and the young people were able to collect all the freebies on offer.
They also took part in numerous fun workshops, such as ‘life swap’ and ‘political speed dating’. As well as working on designs for our baby elephant, based on the Go Elephant! community art project.
If you would like to take part next year, talk to your teachers and we will do the rest.
Go Elephants!
If you travelled into Norwich this summer, it would have been difficult to miss some of the fifty-three life-sized baby elephants dotted around the city. South Norfolk Council sponsored two of the elephants that were part of the Go Elephants! spectacular public art event.
SNYA, supported by artist Clare Steward, designed and painted a beautiful patchwork style elephant. Through this project the group not only had loads of fun, but also gained the Norfolk Youth Award accreditation for their creative contribution.
