Young Voices Have Your Say
What: A series of regional consultations with young people on how they can be more fully included in society. These consultations are part of a European wide initiative ‘Structured Dialogue’ giving young people all over Europe an opportunity to influence decisions affecting their lives. What participants say will feed into a Youth Conference being held during the Irish Presidency of the European Union in March 2013.
On the day the young people will talk about questions such as:
- What does social inclusion mean to you and other young people?
- What young people in Ireland are most at risk of social exclusion and at what stages in their lives?
- How can youth work and other activities that support young people play a role in promoting inclusion?
Who can attend: Any young person between 15 and 30 years of age. There will also be an opportunity for youth leaders and youth workers to share their views on the day.
