about Toucan

Summary of past activities - 1999

Toucan was chosen to run one of the 68 Millennium Volunteers projects across the country, with our project covering the whole of Greater Manchester.

We launched GMY Net, a website offering the opportunity for the 10 Greater Manchester local authority youth services to involve their young people in the development of a web site.

Toucan became a centre for the BBC Webwise Campaign, helping people learn how to use the Internet.
Our On-line project website was nominated for 'Best Initiative Supporting Disadvantaged' in the European Telework Awards 1999.

We attended Employment Week in Brussels, Youth Work Week at Manchester Town Hall and a transnational conference in Albacete, Spain for the Telework and Tele-information Project.

We hosted a conference on 'Employment and Training' and used the conference for the official launch of Greater Manchester Youth Network - a regional support structure for voluntary youth organisations.
