From September 2020 to date Young Wales have been facilitating online Ministerial meetings with groups of young people in direct response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Young people from across Wales have been meeting with the First Minister and Deputy Minister to discuss the impacts of the pandemic on young people as well as making recommendations to support young people throughout the lockdown periods and restrictions. The group has also met with Welsh Governments Communications team to discuss the best platforms to communicate information regarding the pandemic directly with children and young people. Key areas included:
The young people participating were confident, passionate and articulate. They contributed to the discussion with thought and consideration of how Coronavirus and its associated restrictions impact on young people from across Wales within all aspects of their lives. They offered recommendations to Welsh Government to support all young people in Wales to have the very best and fairest opportunities under the circumstances and in terms of what we may face ahead of us.
The young people participating attended preparatory sessions and debrief sessions. As part of this process Young Wales conducted a reflection and evaluation activity that examined the impacts and outcomes on the young people taking part. These outcomes and impacts have been reflected in the word clouds below which are currently being displayed within the communications department at Welsh Government.
