ProMo-Cymru were commissioned by Ifanc, the Cardiff Children and Young People’s Partnership to carry out a feasibility study for a city-wide publication for young people.  Research was carried out with young people consulting them on style, frequency, content and issues.  Working with youth organisations we were able to determine how the project could be incorporated into their existing activities and aims.  Local and national youth publications and platforms for self-expression were researched, both in their content and methods of production with young people and this led to the development of a “best-practice model” for youth-led publications and multi-media platforms.   The findings of the research formed the basis of theSprout, a youth-led website providing information on services and activities for young people in the city.
