Youth-Adult Partnership for Inclusive Decision Making

Description:

Participants explore power, decision making, and systems change through an interactive simulation. Speakers then lead a debrief that invites participants to examine how the simulation outcome was impacted by the inclusion/exclusion of different groups in the decision-making process, drawing parallels to our real-world systems. A short presentation will build on the takeaways from the simulation and examine the concept of youth voice, why youth voice is important for equitable dialogue/decision-making, and resources to amplify youth voice. The workshop concludes with breakout group discussion.
