#YouthVoice

As Youth Mayor I recently attended the Youth Voice Development Programme run by the British Youth Council.  It was a great experience where I met over 200 young people who are involved in youth forums, youth councils and who are also Youth Mayor and Members of UK Youth Parliament.  I took part in lots of workshops to develop essential skills that I can bring to my role and to the Youth Cabinet such as leadership skills; learning how to plan and run campaigns; information about the Don't Hate Educate campaign and much more.  Read this article for more information.

VOG Members of UK Youth Parliament

Although the Youth Cabinet is a voice for young peole in the Vale of Glamorgan it's important that the views of young people in our area are taken into account outside of the Vale.  A lot of decisions are made that affect young people at the National Assembley for Wales and also at the UK Government in Westminster. 

Did you know that young people from the Vale can get involved in decision-making at Westminster too? This is called the UK Youth Parliament.  Please watch our video for more information.
