Youth Democracy in Poland
1. Children and Youth
Parliament
2. Youth council of the city /
district / municipality
3. Student Council
Children and Youth Parliament
is an action promoting the
parliamentary system since 1994
among young people, currently in
high school and secondary schools.
The term of members is for one year,
and the only session of the year takes
place on the Children's Day 1 June.
Each of the 16 provinces in
Poland receives the number of
seats proportional to the number
of students in secondary schools
in the province.
How to become a member?
Since 2010, candidates work in groups of
two. To qualify for parliamentary seats,
the team needs to do a session on the
subject of social action and publish in
Internet. The best grated groups get the
mandates of deputies, according to the
number of seats per province.
Youth council of the city /
district / municipality is an
optional local government
Youth councils are created by a group of
young people who were elected by their
peers in the democratic elections held in
schools.
The members serve as a representation
of youth in the area and are to raise
awareness of local authorities on the
needs of young people.
They express opinions about the
activities of local government bodies in
relation to young people.
\Youth council members are students in
middle schools and high schools.
They are chosen in democratic elections
to represent their peers before the city
authorities
Working in the youth council young
people take responsibility for their local
environment, they learn the principles of
independence as well as functioning of
government.
They also have the opportunity to influence
their community, city or county - to take
concrete action in response to specific needs.
The first youth council was formed in
Poland in 1990 in Czestochowa. Only in
2001, together with the amendment of local
laws, to the Local Government Act
introduced Article. 5b, formally authorizing
the creation of youth municipal council.
The most popular form of youth
democracy in every school in
Poland is Student Council.

the rights, students can report
