November's meeting

This week we held our November monthly meeting and we have a few things to report. Following discussions at the Vale Youth Forum, members concerns about long lunchtime queues have been raised with professionals who are looking into carrying out some research into the issue and the impact it has on students.

Also, we've had a great idea to have some training in British Parliamentary style debating and can't wait to suggest it to the Vale Youth Forum.  Hopefully we will then be able to hold a debate on a chosen topic and invite some decision-makers to listen to our ideas.

The Trans*Form Cymru Charter was also discussed again and we are grateful to have a case study of a young person from the Vale which supports the need for a local LGBTQ guidance document for schools and organisations working with young people.

Also, please see below the new Youth Mayor poster for 2016-17, copies will be coming to schools, youth clubs and youth organisations soon!

      

Meeting update!

Tonight was the first meeting of the new Youth Cabinet.  We invited Jennifer Hill, the Director of Learning & Skills at the Vale of Glamorgan Council to come along and discuss the Trans*Form Cymru Charter and how we can empower and support Trans* young people in our community.  This is something the Youth Cabinet are really supportive of.  We also started to plan our new action plan and discussed the different ways we can support young people living in the Vale.  We also considered a new logo for the Youth Cabinet and started planning short videos to showcase the importance of youth work in the run up to Youth Work Week in Wales. Finally we continued to plan our exciting town twinning youth camp in Mouscron, Belgium.  We cannot wait!!!
