Young Voices
Date du début: 1 août 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The National Youth Council of Ireland in partnership with the Department of Children and Youth Affairs in Ireland consulted with over 870 young people for ‘Young Voices – Have Your Say’ is a series of consultations with young people aged 15-30 years on how you can be more fully included in society. The consultations took place during the 3rd cycle of the European Structured Dialogue process. The ‘Structured Dialogue’ gives young people all over Europe a chance to ‘have your say’ about decisions affecting young people's lives. The aim of this project is to give young people a voice at a national and European level. This project aims to give the young people involved in the consultations an opportunity to campaign and lobby for the recommendations young people made during the consultation to be implemented at a national level. The young people will explore the outcomes of the consultations, the summary reports are available http://international.youth.ie/haveyoursay and NYCI and DCYA will facilitate the young people to present their work and campaign to the relevant decision and policy makers. 40 young people will be in the overall group but this group will be divided into smaller groups depending on age. Like during the consultations we will use Youth-friendly, interactive and fun methodologies. The national working group and planning group will include youth representatives to inform the planning, implementation and evaluation of the project. There will be a diversity of methodologies and inputs from young people who have led successful campaigns in Ireland from Comhlaire na nÓg and the NYCI vote@16 youth campaign group. Diversity of participants: a particular effort was made to ensure that a broad mix of young people and young adults from Irish society were involved in the consultation phase. This was done to ensure that as many views as possible were represented in the final results, including in particular the views of those who are most at risk of exclusion in contemporary Ireland. Impact: The young people participating in this project will have a deeper understanding of policy making at a European and national level and how young people can influence the issues and decisions affecting their lives. This project is part of the implementation stage of the Structured Dialogue process. The outcomes from the opinion poll on the theme of youth empowerment will form the basis of the report to the European Steering Committee on Structured Dialogue and will join reports from all over Europe and inform the background documents of the EU Youth Conference in Italy in October 2014. This is the beginning of the consultation stage of the 4th cycle on Structured Dialogue.
