The recent decision by Bluewater Shopping Centre to ban hooded tops and baseball caps led the Campaign for Learning to issue a strong response. The Campaign's recent Re:evolution project working with young Foyer residents shows that young people are often treated with suspicion and find themselves unwelcome not just from shopping centres but many public venues and services. Linda Siegle, the Campaign's chief executive said, "This project shows that by not prejudging young people and giving them the same respect as anyone else in society can open up both formal and informal learning opportunities, helping them to make a more positive contribution to their communities."
