Cymru Ifanc - Young Wales is a platform to ensure Welsh Government ministers listen to the views and ideas of young people.
We attended their annual conference in Cardiff on 05.03.16 which was really interesting. The conference was chaired by the Deputy Youth Mayor from Merthyr Tydfil and was an opportunity for young people, professionals and Welsh Government to find out what Cymru Ifanc, Young Wales have achieved in the last year. There were guest speakers including the Children's Commissioner for Wales and we learnt more about the plans for a new curriculum in Wales. We also took part in workshops around the use of social media and participation and young people's views on mental health services.

Our meeting with Cabinet
Tonight we met with the Vale of Glamorgan Cabinet, we meet with them once every term.
As usual, the meeting was very productive and feedback from the cabinet members was positive. We told them about the activities and meetings we have been involved in over the past few months and they were all impressed with the amount of work we've been involved in, from our monthly youth cabinet meetings, to attending the Holocaust Memorial Day event and meeting with the Children's Commissioner for Wales.
We also discussed future plans for the Youth Cabinet, in the coming months. We updated the Cabinet on the progress of our school transport report and our response from Edwina Hart, Welsh Government Minister for Economy, Science and Transport. Then we discussed how the council are planning to make savings - it's a difficult job to do!! Cabinet discussed some important projects we are hoping to get involved in in the future such as an NHS Orchard and raising awareness of Young Carers. These are areas we definitely want to get involved in as youth cabinet members!
