Derby Promise presents: ROOTS

Description

Calling all 14–18 year olds in Derby (Parents and carers welcome too).

Derby Promise Presents: ROOTS

On 19th February, Electric Daisy becomes a hands-on marketplace of ideas, skills and possibilities. Try DJ workshops, VR, illustration, green skills, print-making and more.
Meet careers advisers, employers and youth organisations — or just grab some info (and some pizza).

Parents and carers can access advice and guidance too. Whether you’ve got a plan or no clue yet, ROOTS meets you where you are.

You’ll be able to:
Talk to people who understand careers, skills and opportunities.
Find out about education, training, employment and support services.
Ask questions, pick up information or just listen in.
Take part in interactive activities.
Enjoy food and music in a creative, informal setting.
Drop in — come for five minutes or stay for the whole afternoon.

What is ROOTS about?
ROOTS is about possibility.
It helps young people explore different options across education, training and work — and start to see what their next step could be.
There’s no pressure to have everything figured out. Whether they’ve got a plan or no idea yet, ROOTS meets them where they are.

Who is it for?
Young people aged 14–18 who are starting to think about what comes next without judgement or pressure.

Parents and carers are welcome to attend and access advice and guidance alongside young people.

Who you’ll meet
Derby Promise will be joined by a range of local partners, including:
+ ND Hubs
+ Family Hubs
+ Parent Carer Forum
+ Employment and Skills teams
+ Culture Derby
+ Other education, training
and support providers

Entry is FREE but by pre-booking a ticket you can claim one free drink and one free pizza on the evening (parent/carers not required to book a ticket, just the young person attending).
