The EC wishes to involve young people in promoting their health, and to empower young people to have their say, they have created a website; http://ec.europa.eu/health-eu/youth/index_en.htm

“The initiative emphasises dialogue and involvement of young people in tackling the health issues that affect them and invites young people to be active partners in our work on health.”
(from the website)

On this website young people can contribute and state their opinion on health issues in several ways; they can write blog entries and/or take part in the competition.
The website of the Youth health initiative is a part of a large health conference taking place in Brussels this July, and people contributing on the website have the opportunity to be invited to the conference.

”The conference aims primarily to listen to young people and to involve them in the decision making process about their health. It also aims at generating commitment from stakeholders to improve the health of young people.”

I encourage our Active members –and others- to have a look at the Youth Health Initiative website, and contribute. Write a blog entry on something that takes your interest within youth and health. Share your opinions.

Who knows, maybe we could even link our own campaign –which I hope you will contribute to as well.
