The student council is working on implementing their ideas
As we have reported several times on our social media pages, in October we launched the Student Council of the town of Székelykeresztúr thanks to the European Youth Foundation. Our goal was not only to recruit a team of young people and students, but also to equip them with skills and abilities that will be of great use in their work.
In the period from October to January, young people participated in several short trainings and lectures on communication, research and data analysis, negotiation techniques, decision-making and lobbying, conflict management. In addition, several team-building activities took place to establish and maintain cooperation.
Already during the trainings, young people had the opportunity to get to know the deputy mayor of the town more closely, as well as the decision-making processes at town level. In order to deepen the relationship with the local government and to start working together, some representatives of the student council attended a meeting at the town hall. During the meeting, they toured all departments of the institution, deepened their knowledge about the structure of local government, and presented the results of the research they started back in February. The research aims to create a community space where young people can spend their free time actively.
The student council is already preparing a calendar of events, as they are already ready to implement their own ideas at town level. We will report on them soon, in the meantime, follow our social media platforms and website for the newest information.
