Every three months we invite young leaders and 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 reports also serve as an opportunity to celebrate our award winners and talk about some of the British Youth Council’s core activities and campaign milestones.
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 stories from youth representatives (including Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs), Deputy Members of Youth Parliament (DMYPs), Youth Councillors, Young Mayors and Deputy Young Mayors)
- Positive stories from our members, of varying size, from across the UK.
- Update from support workers on the activities of the youth groups they work with and support
