The dozen ‘graduates’ took part in a three-year programme run by the Children’s University which offers a range of outside school hours workshops. The programme was carried out through Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Youth Forum.
Cllr Michael Prew, the council’s Youth Champion, said: “The group of young people taking part in this national scheme through the Youth Forum have been a joy to work with. They truly deserve this great accolade for all of their hard work and dedication.
“It is a great achievement for all involved including the Youth Forum staff who work tirelessly to create a fun learning environment outside of the syllabus.”
