Mind The Gap
The launch of an exciting new campaign has brought 62 year old former Eastender and star of Gavin & Stacey Larry Lamb, and 22 year old N-Dubz singing sensation Tulisa together.
The unlikely double act is backing the launch of Why Do a unique new online service, funded by O2’s Think Big programme which aims to increase understanding between adults and young people to help bridge the generational divide.
Run entirely by young people, the free Q&A service allows adults to find out anything and everything about young people and what they really think.
The O2 backed website, which is the brainchild of 22 year old Londoner Sabian Muhammad, aims to explode myths and misconceptions about young people by getting the generations talking online.
Sabian hit upon the idea of creating a unique online Q&A service while working as a volunteer youth worker in London. With funding and support from O2’s Think Big programme, which is designed to back inspiring young people, Sabian was able to turn his idea into a fully fledged, nationwide service.
From music, fashion and everyday trivia, to the big issues that impact young people today, adults will be able to log onto whydo.co.uk and quiz youngsters at the click of a mouse.
Once submitted, questions are sent out to the Why Do young advisors a team of 50 young people aged between 16 and 25 who are ready to help adults understand a little more about young people and what really makes them tick. Within a few short hours responses are posted on whydo.co.uk
Visit the Why Do website to post a question or see what others have asked.
