The youth panel journey kicked off with Phase 1 (Discover & Define) where youth underwent introductory and equipping workshops on policy-making and design innovation.
The panels are now deep in Phase 2 (Design & Deliver) where they engage in panel-led discussions, research, learning journeys and engagement – together with government agencies – to deliberate on the policy areas and potential recommendations.
Phase 3 (Submission of Recommendations) will commence in August 2024 with the presentation of the panels' policy ideas and preliminary recommendations to youths and the general public at the Youth Policy Forum. Following the Forum, the panels will finalise their policy recommendations, and submit them to NYC/MCCY and the respective agencies. Thereafter, NYC/MCCY and relevant agencies will close the loop with the panels, and respond to the recommendations where appropriate.
