What is Youth Day?
Youth Day is an annual day of activities coordinated by our Youth Council and Youth Mayor.
Events are organised by young people, for young people across the city.
It aims to showcase the important contribution made by 11 to 25-year-olds in all aspects of life in Salford. We know our young people make a positive difference to our city, and we want to capture and celebrate this.
Youth Day 2025: Skill Swap!
For the last 14 years, we’ve celebrated the positive impact young people have on their communities in Salford, showcasing talent, sacrifice, determination and ambition.
This year, Salford’s young people are launching the first ever ‘Skill Swap’ - a week of workshops led by and for young people, sharing and learning skills together.
We want all young people, youth centres, and local groups to get involved and run their own workshops during the week starting Monday 11 August 2025.
Whether you can teach a skill or want to learn something new – from upcycling clothes, crafts and beauty to DJing, dance and cooking there’s something for everyone.
Share videos and photos of your skills on social media using #Gotskills and don’t forget to tag us on social media.
