Editor's Notes

  • 10 countries carried out a range of youth engagement activities such as Bar Camps, National Youth Fora, School Classes and policy labs

    The results were submitted to OECD
  • A key message seems to be “youth want to engage but don’t know how”
    Youth currently feel that their opinions are not taken seriously
    There is a lack of current structures to for youth engagement, such as youth parliaments and youth councils.
  • i.e. youth would like to be given a real say on how their schools are run, including the curricula, the food, the dress.
    Leaders come to youth for advice and use understandable language to communicate – don’t use jargon
  • Empower youth organisations and associations to play an active role and interest broker.
    Schools supporting and teaching public engagement of young people from a young age, and teaching the value of participation
    Systematic discussion between ministers and youth on issues that matter to youth
