Easter meeting

At this month's meeting we fed back from Jane Hutt's Spring Breakfast which put an emphasis on apprenticeships in STEM areas. We also talked about the Emoji's project presentation evening and the Healthy and Safe event to which we had sent a video explaining the importance of supporting young people affected by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

We discussed our attendance at the Carwyn Connect evening and discussed our views on increasing the use of the Welsh language through pride and inspiration rather than force.  We are also pleased we have been asked to write the foreword for the Trans Inclusion Toolkit which is being developed by the Council.  And we are excited to be invited to a youth exchange this summer in Fecamp.

At tonight's meeting we completed the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales' SenseMaker Survey, discussing the main challenges facing Wales in the future and looking at the 4 challenges that have been identified by the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales.  We also discussed the results of the Youth Satisfaction Survey and we are beginning to write a report on our findings.
