The 2012 YLT Survey Results Preview

This Seminar was presented on 23th May 2013 at Queen's University Belfast

Every year, ARK offers policy makers, researchers and anyone concerned with young people's issues the opportunity to get an overview of the key results of the most recent YLT survey, before the full survey results are being released to the general public.

The event will be held as part of Community Relations Week, and we will consequently focus on YLT survey findings related to community relations, CRED as well as shared education.
