The Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region wanted to create a regional youth assembly. It must allow young people to practice citizenship, to participate in the construction of regional public policies, to promote their civic engagement, their responsibility and their autonomy while developing skills. The first assembly was formed in March 2023.
The youth participatory body has different functions:
An advisory role: giving its opinion on regional policies. Proposal body: proposing the implementation of new projects or new systems and finally an implementation tool: offering young people the possibility of carrying out certain projects.
How does it work?
The regional youth council of Nouvelle-Aquitaine meets three times a year in plenary session, alternately, in each regional hotel, in Bordeaux, Limoges or Poitiers. The inaugural session is organized in the hemicycle of the Hôtel de Région de Bordeaux, during the first quarter of 2025. Thematic commissions will also be set up.
Composition of the assembly:
In order to have a body that reflects the youth of the region, with the objective of representativeness, diversity and inclusion, the following composition is envisaged: young people aged 15 to 29 inclusive, on the basis of parity. Respecting territorial distribution.
High school students (1/3), students or apprentices (1/3) and young people entering working life (1/3) are called to apply.
Candidates who have applied will be drawn randomly.
