Dear Friends,
Since we have a lot of new members to the group, I am re-posting the
original questions so that everyone can join in! Please provide your input
on these questions by Tuesday May 13.
The first week we are looking into how young people can be involved in
designing public policy. Governments are responsible for designing and
implementing public policy, yet they can seek advice and inputs from a
variety of sources, including NGOs, think tanks, the private sector and of
course the citizens who are intended to benefit from the policies.
Policies can deal with diverse topics such as health care, education,
employment and public safety, among many. For more background information,
please read the background document from OECD
(http://files.tiggroups.org/64603/Mindthegap-fosteringopen
andinclusivepolicymakingAnissuespaper-final.pdf)
We want your input on how young people feel they are able to contribute to
designing public policy, and how it could improve. Please consider the
following questions:
1. Do you feel the views of young people are sufficiently included in
designing public policy? What are the barriers to participation?
2. What steps can governments take to facilitate greater youth
participation?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Best regards,
Vidar Ekehaug
