Talking Point: Do you hide from 'hoodies'?

Hoodies are out in force in one Kent town today.

Ashford's 16 to 25 year olds are gathering in the County Square shopping centre, trying to change people's perceptions of them.

The town is one of ten towns taking part in the national campaign, run by the 'Agents 4 Change' project, which highlights the good things young people do, instead of the bad.

Marco Cor is one of the 'agents 4 change' taking part in the Ashford event, he believes people need to be more aware of the positive actions of young people.

He said: "All young people wearing hoodies are stigmatised as being up to no good, but what we're trying to do through the Agents 4 Change is that young people are doing alot of good throughout the country."

The hoodies will be in the County Square Shopping Centre between 10am and 3pm today.
