Quick Plug:  Tom Gaskin of NorfolkBlurb is leading a session at the Empowerment Symposium on "Young people and eParticipation: X-Factor excitement meets bureaucratic boredom".  He’s asked me to be part of the panel along with a team of young people and youth workers.  We’ll be trying to shake up the conference format a little and see how much the conference grandees are willing to learn from young people.  On the agenda is social networking, media portrayal of youth and whatever the audience brings up on the day.
