What We Have Been Up To Lately
Since the announcement of the youth panels, NYC has been engaging with youths to understand issues that youths care about as we work with partners to confirm on the topics and its respective problem statements for the youth panels to tackle. Small group discussions with youth leaders and senior government officials are on-going to help NYC drill down broad policy topics, which usually include multiple cross cutting sub-topics and policy overlaps, to more specific issues that the youth panels would be able to address in the next year. Five small group discussions have been conducted so far and we expect to continue to engage youths until NYC announces the areas panel members will be addressing by October.
Check out these happy faces at the discussions 😀
