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. The meeting place is Asema, Eteläinen Asemakatu 2.
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.)
The participation and consultation of children and young people is regulated in section 8 of the Youth Act.

THE PRINCIPLES OF A SAFER SPACE IN THE RIIHIMÄKI YOUTH COUNCIL
Respect another's personal physical and psychological condition.
Respect self-determination. Do not touch another without asking permission. Remember that you cannot know another person's boundaries without asking them. Ask for space for yourself as well, if necessary.
Don't mock, insult, belittle, push aside or embarrass anyone with your words, behavior or actions. Stop judging looks, gossiping and perpetuating stereotypes.
Don't assume based on appearance or action. Do not assume anyone's sexuality, gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion.
Give space. Let's work together to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate in the activities of the youth council. Also respect the privacy of others and treat sensitive topics with respect.
Listen and learn. Accept new topics, people and perspectives without prejudice. Approach every thing and situation that comes your way as an opportunity to learn something new and develop.
Apologize, if you have intentionally or unintentionally offended others.
The principles were approved at the youth council meeting on 18.11.2024 November XNUMX
