Youth Participation

Many suggest young people are apathetic and disengaged so it has never been more important to make sure that the voice of young people is being heard.

This year’s Envision teams have been making sure their voice has been heard at a wide range of platforms, from campaigning within school to raising issues with their local councils to participating in activities at the Ministry of Justice.

You are all passionate about the issues affecting you in your local area and have great ideas on how to change things. It is important to make sure you are engaging with decision-makers and have access to participation.
