We joined My Life, My Say in their Democracy Cafe!

On Friday, six members of the Devon Youth Council met with the national My Life My Say team in one of their democracy café events they are running around the UK!

My Life My Say is run by young adults who are passionate about supporting young people to be heard by Central Government. They are currently working with the Government to help create a National Youth Strategy and today’s session will form an important part of that discussion!

“For too long, the nation’s young people have been deprived of a meaningful seat at the table in the decisions that directly impact their lives…Through the co-production of a new National Youth Strategy, we will put young people back in charge of their own destiny, starting with better understanding of their lives and needs”

– Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy (2024)
