Youth council

You are welcome to follow our meetings! However, we hope that you inform the youth council chairman or the youth services employee responsible for the youth council's activities of your result in advance. They will also provide you with the venue for the meeting.

The meetings are held every two weeks on Mondays from 17.45:2. As a rule, the meeting place is Asema, Eteläinen Asemakatu XNUMX.

In order to ensure young people's opportunities to participate and influence, the municipal government must appoint a youth council or a similar influential group of young people (youth council) and take care of its operating conditions. The youth council can be shared by several municipalities. The youth council must be given the opportunity to influence the planning, preparation, implementation and monitoring of the activities of the municipality's various industries in matters that are important to the well-being, health, studies, living environment, living or movement of the municipality's residents, as well as in other matters that the youth council deems to be significant for children and young people. The youth council should be involved in developing the participation and consultation of children and young people in the municipality. (Municipal Act § 26.)

Section 72 of the Youth Act (2006/8) provides for the participation and consultation of children and young people.
