Y.K.S.1, Ylikiimingin suuret ideoijat

District based youth participation groups have concluded their activities

The district-based youth participation groups in Oulu are no longer operating in their previous format. Participation and influence opportunities for children and young people are currently being renewed and developed in new ways across the City of Oulu. A new Children’s Parliament is being established for primary school-aged children, while the Youth Council ONE continues to serve as Oulu’s official youth influence group. New participation and influence opportunities for lower secondary school-aged young people are also being planned.
The City of Oulu Youth Services and other Education and Culture Services are developing participation opportunities for children and young people in a variety of ways. Information about new opportunities to participate and make an impact will be published as the development work progresses.

Welcome to Y.K.S.1!

Y.K.S.1 operates in the Ylikiiminki area, which includes Ylikiiminki and Vesala schools.

The group meets once a month. The group currently consists of 6 young people, so there is room for more if you are interested in influencing local and city matters.

Group members act as active links between their school and the participation group and bring up their own views and needs to improve the area. The group is supported by a youth worker from Youth Services and a designated teacher from the school.

If you are eager to participate and want to influence matters in your area, you can contact the area’s participation instructors.
