Commission is an excellent network and resource where we can share and
exchange experiences and methods. If you have anything from your local youth

Children's panel -
the
meeting of children and decision makers
City of Kalmar, Sweden
Children’s
panels have been organized on a yearly basis in the City of
Kalmar since 2004. Those of us with experience in working
with youth influence find that the panel form functions well,
better in fact than many other forms. We have therefore
produced a handbook in order to facilitate the
implementation of children’s panels so that more children
can take part in panels and so that children and decision
makers may participate on equal terms. The panel can also be
seen as an expression of the UN Convention on the Rights of
the Child, the portal paragraph states that children must be
given the right to express their views.

"Coffee with a politician"
City of Västervik, Sweden
"Coffe with a
politician" is a simple method to create meetings between
youth and politicians in a municipality.
To create a natural meeting between
generations or between youngsters and
politicians can sometimes be complicated. It’s
not a matter of will, it’s a matter of time.
This is why the Swedish organisation “Nätverket SIP” created
a simple concept to allow this kind
of meetings to take place without the
difficult part, finding a time that suits all the members in
a certain committee. The method has
been used in the City of Växjö. |
