Questionnaire
1. c) Deliver training of trainers utilizing existing material on CoP developed by the National Youth Council of Ireland.
Support
NYCI member youth organisations to organise activities and events
highlighting local and global linkages and actions on the theme of CoP.
Promote
links between youth groups and young people raising awareness of, and
taking action on, CoP in Ireland and in developing countries.
d) Links to youth organisations and NGDOs in developing countries that promote awareness and action on CoP
2.a)
Contribute to the formulation of public policies that affect young
people. For example, NYCI is currently lobbying for measures to address
harm caused by alcohol abuse. Alcohol abuse has been shown to lead to
increased violence and put young people at greater risk.
Ensure that young people are consulted in the formulation of policies that affect their ability to live in a CoP.
b)
As a highly respected international organisation, the UN should use its
position and standing to bring together young people, youth
organisations, Governments, NGOs and statutory agencies to develop
policies and promote actions that build peace.
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS
3.
Encourage the establishment of youth advisory groups at all levels to
promote a youth perspective in planning and implementing activities.
Provide incentives to promote youth-led activities.
4. In
relation to the establishment of a Global Fund for Youth, the need for
transparency should not be used as an excuse to complicate an
application and reporting process – the shorter the better (someone has
to read all the applications and reports).
5. Clear criteria
need to be established for distributing funding including issues such
as whether it will be distributed on a country basis or a thematic
basis, what will and won’t be funded..
6. Through National Youth Councils, Youth Information Centres, local community media, Development Education Centres
7.a)
Within NYCI membership, the Glencree Centre for Reconciliation has a
specific CoP remit. Many other member youth organisations have a CoP
remit within their work. A full list of member youth organisations and
contact details is available at www.youth.ie/member/org
b) You should contact the organisations directly.
