Project objectives:
- To place young people at the centre of a project that will place their own lives at its heart
- To encourage young people to value their own lives and their place in local communities and related activities
- To provide an archive that gives an insight into the lives of young people in the early part of the 21st century
- To engage young people with Nottinghamshire County Council, Nottingham City Council and the Nottinghamshire Local History Association.
