About

The Oxcentric website was created in consultation with hundreds of local young people. Participation and Play (part of Oxfordshire County Council) managed the consultation. One of the main aims of the project was making more information available to different ages.

For different age groups

One of the key things young people told us is that they wanted content to be aimed at their age group. Because of this we created two websites:

• Oxcentric, for older young people, and
• Boombox, for younger young people

Combining different websites

One of the other things young people told us is that they wanted to be able to find everything in one place. So Oxcentric combines tools and content from several different websites:

• Spired.com
• Activities Oxfordshire
• Connexions Oxfordshire
• Big Voice Oxfordshire

There is also content from the main Oxfordshire County Council website.
