A project for Young People to explore their cultural history and make a permanent record of what they want other people to know about them and their families.

All of the family stories on this site have been written by the young people and detail their unique stories in a way that is relevant to them.

Enjoy!

Welcome

This is the home page for the Young Roots project being run at Diversity Hub and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. So far we have worked with our partners at Leicestershire Records Office to learn the importance of records when researching our family histories and also learnt some skills on interviewing our family and friends to find out what their story is.

The project is ongoing and we will keep adding to our pages and the site as we all learn more.

If you are interested in taking part in this project please check out the Links Page to find out more.

Young Roots Celebrates

The Volunteers, Trustees and Staff of Diversity Hub and the people we deliver services to came together on Thursday March 22nd 2007 at Leicester's Guildhall to celebrate a year of development and growth.

Special emphasis was on the work with the young people who are involved in Friends Against Bullying, Leicester Against Bullying, Champions Against Violence, Conflict Busters and the Young Roots project.

The event was attended by just over 100 people who had the opportunity to view the exhibitions and experience snapshots of the work of Diversity Hub. The event was followed by a buffet supper and an opprtunity to meet new friends and renew old acquaintances.

Young people at the event received gift bags that included a celebration mug and information on the projects.

Below are some photographs taken at the celebration.
