This evening, we had our first joint meeting as the new Youth Cabinet. Three Cabinet Members and 5 Youth Cabinet Members attended the meeting. We had a bunch of progress to report back on, including our momentous trip to Mouscron in Belgium. We also had an interesting discussion around transition from primary into secondary school. The Cabinet thanked us greatly for the impressive work that had been achieved in the six months since our last joint meeting.
The meeting was followed by our general Youth Cabinet meeting. The hot topics were the 'Make Your Mark' campaign that is coming to a close; and Local Democracy Week that will see the election of the Vale's third Youth Mayor. This will also provide a great opportunity to promote our work. Dan, our current Youth Mayor, will also be attending the annual sitting of the UK Youth Parliament in London this November. We wish him well!
