      10. Are there any training sessions or workshops that you think would be useful for the youth council?

  11. Cultural Platform

    • The municipality is exploring the possibility of launching an online cultural platform. On such a platform, cultural organizations can showcase themselves to one another and to the public. They can also share knowledge with one another and seek opportunities for collaboration.
      The Youth Council is being asked whether they think a cultural platform would be useful, whether they would use it, and what they would like to see on the platform. 

  12. Annual Calendar

    • A draft annual calendar has been drawn up, listing topics on which municipal employees would like to seek advice from the Youth Council. The Youth Council is asked to add to this calendar as needed.
