Children and young people across Wales aged 11-25 are being called upon to take part in the new Young Wales initiative called "The BIG conversation" and a group of Service children/young people from Haverfordwest High VC School were invited to add their voices to the conversation. The group met with some members from the Children in Wales and SSCE Cymru teams to discuss what mattered to them.
Thank you to the amazing young people for participating, the brilliant staff at HHVCS for organising and hosting us and the Children in Wales team for including a group of Service children/young people living in Wales to be part of the converstaion. It certainly allowed them the opportunity to share their thoughts and experiences on issues that effect their lives. We had a wonderful morning.
The project is a platform where young people can engage with the 7 key themes that Young Wales works on with its young people Advisory Boards:
Feeling Safe Online and in Relationships
Social Justice and Climate Change
Education and Training for Under 16’s
Education and Training for 16–25-year-olds
LGBTQ+
Mental Health and Wellbeing
Young Carers
But the Big Conversation isn’t just about talking, it’s about action. The views collected will be brought directly to Welsh Government Ministers in 2025, ensuring that the perspectives of children and young people are part of the decision-making process.
