Youth Council annual conference held in Llanelli
Carmarthenshire Youth Council’s Annual Youth Conference was held this week.
More than 100 young people descended on Parc-y-Scarlets for Carmarthenshire Youth Council’s Annual Youth Conference.
The event hosted various workshops to spark discussion among the young people in attendance.
This year’s theme of ‘making choices’ tackled the big issues surrounding the recession, employment and training for young people in Carmarthenshire.
The first half of the conference gave young people the opportunity to have their say on key issues concerning young people in Carmarthenshire including: jobs, business, volunteering, training and education.
The second half transformed the floor into an open forum led by a panel of influential individuals from some of Carmarthenshire’s key youth organisations: Carmarthenshire County Council, Coleg Sir Gar, CAVS and Rathbone UK.
Charlene Davies, Chairperson of Carmarthenshire Youth Council, said “The issues raised at the conference will be followed up and actioned by Carmarthenshire Youth Council in 2011-12.”
“We’ll be making every effort to listen to what’s being said by Carmarthenshire’s young people and bring those ideas and issues to the people that can really make changes.”
