Welcome to SYC – the website of Shotton Youth Centre designed by the young people who attend

Now and Then…Living in Shotton

In March we worked with some of the older residents of Shotton. We prepared a set of questions aimed at highlighting the similarites and the differences of growing up in Shotton. We were trying to make a comparison between being a young person living in Shotton and how it was in the past.

The questions we asked:

  1. How long have you lived in Shotton?
  2. We enjoy spending time at SYC seeing our friends. What did you like to do after school was finished for you?
  3. Where did you go to school?
  4. How old were you when you finished your education: school; college; etc?
  5. What was your favourite subject at school and why?
  6. What did you do after you finished your education?
  7. What are your favourite things about Shotton?
  8. Do you think Shotton was better for young people, when you were at school or now? And why?
  9. Did you ever experience a youth club or youth centre when you were younger? Tell us about this if so.
  10. What improvements would you like to make to Shotton for people of all ages?
