Cowbridge School Council

📅 Date: 06 July 2023

📍Location: Cowbridge School

🗣️ Who we spoke to: Secondary school Council representatives (Years 7–13) 15 students

Facilitators: Cllr Malcolm Wilson.

🙋 Type of engagement:

• Awareness-raising session introducing the Placemaking Plan project.
• Short talk focused on why young people’s views matter and how they can influence the plan.

💬 Comments:

• “We didn’t know about Placemaking before – sounds interesting.”
• “Good to have a say in what happens in Cowbridge.”
• “We’d like to be involved.”

📢 Summary

This was not a feedback-gathering session; its purpose was to inform and inspire involvement. Students had not previously heard of Placemaking, so the emphasis was on explaining the concept and encouraging participation in future activities.

Overall, the session sparked awareness and secured ongoing involvement and their voices will play a key role in upcoming consultations!
