What is a Mix-d: Identity Conference?

This is a conference for students from years 9 and 10 to get together in the same space, talk about their lived experience and an opportunity to inform policy makers on future strategies. The conference creates a platform for young people from mix-d backgrounds to have a voice and be heard. They can explore issues and agendas related to the group, make recommendations to schools, local authority services and government on mix-d issues.

In summary, it bring together a group of mix-d students in one place where they can share experiences (positive and negative) and ideas in a positive but purposeful atmosphere.
