<br></div><div style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;background-color:transparent">I would like to invite you to a free conference which is taking place at 2pm on Thursday 14<sup>th</sup> November. The event will take place at Fulwood Academy in Preston and will be an opportunity to hear about the findings of an exciting project which has been taking place in Preston and across the country over the last year called Connect:Transmit.</div>
<div style="font-size:13.333333969116211px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;background-color:transparent">Connect:Transmit was funded by The Paul Hamlyn Foundation to look at
and evaluate how the listening and speaking skills of young people can be improved by working with local community radio stations. The project was co-ordinated by Radio Regen in Manchester (one of the longest established and most successful community radio projects in the UK). Community radio station, PrestonFM was selected as one of four project partners in the UK to deliver this project alongside community radio projects in Norwich, Bradford and Aberdeen.</div>

The findings and highlights of the project were launched at a
National conference in Manchester earlier this month, and now we are holding this event to specifically focus on the Preston element of the project.</div><div style="font-size:13.333333969116211px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;background-color:transparent">
The event will start at 2pm with a buffet and networking before an afternoon of workshops and presentations. The event will end with a panel debate (involving the young people who worked on this project) which asks the question “Should 16 years olds be able to vote?”.</div>
