Each month we invite youth representatives, including Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs), Deputy Members of Youth Parliament (DMYPs), Youth Councillors, Young Mayors and Deputy Young Mayors to share their stories of the positive activities they have been engaging in recently.
We also give workers the opportunity to update us on the activities of the youth groups they work with and support. The British Youth Council shares this report regionally and nationally, with local councillors and MPs, in order to raise the profile of the fantastic local work that we know is happening every day.
As part of commitment to the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child Article 13 – Freedom of expression: ‘Every child must be free to say what they think and to seek and receive all kinds of information, as long as it is within the law’ (UNICEF UK) our content is split into two parts:
- Positive activities stories from youth representatives (including Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs), Deputy Members of Youth Parliament (DMYPs), Youth Councillors, Young Mayors and Deputy Young Mayors)
- Update from support workers on the activities of the youth groups they work with and support
The case studies and stories of the work of young people in their local communities are reproduced here in their own words. If you would like to find out more about one of the projects you read about in this report, please email: communications@byc.org.uk
