happy international youth dAY - VOICY IS HERE!
 |
As part of celebrating International Youth Day, the Ministry of Youth Development is calling young people (12-24 years) to take part in VOICY, a youth consultation and engagement tool that enables young people to participate in the development of government policy that affects them.
Young people are an important group in New Zealand but their voices are not always heard. Young people are already online and VOICY is a way of opening up conversations between them and the government.
VOICY is an online policy discussion space where young people are able to enter into dialogue with government officials.
Encourage young people to check out VOICY and get involved. Spread the world. VOICY can also be found on Facebook and followed on Twitter.
Happy International Youth Day. |
