Service Description

They receive information on how young people need to be involved in decisions in their community.

Children and young people must be able to have a say and help shape their community. Many municipalities therefore provide information on how young people can get involved.

This includes participation formats such as youth forums, children's and youth advisory councils, surveys, workshops or digital participation offerings. Children and young people also need to be involved in local planning, such as the construction of a playground or the design of public spaces and streets.

If you would like to find out more about how and where children and young people can be involved in your municipality, please contact your local authority. They will provide you with further information on existing offers and contact persons.
