The theme for Dáil na nÓg 2015 was ‘the need for young people to have a stronger voice in their education and school’. This theme came out of workshop discussions at the Comhairle Showcase 2014 in which over 400 young people voted on the areas of their lives in which they least had a say. Education and School came out on top. To read the Showcase report, click here: Comhairle Showcase report 2014
Some 200 young people aged 12-17 took part in Dáil na nÓg to discuss all aspects of this theme – participants took part in workshop discussions and contributed questions at the Q&A session with relevant ministers and government officials in the Department of Education. Delegates were elected to attend Dáil na nÓg through their local Comhairle na nÓg.
Topics for discussion in workshops on the day were as follows:
- Subject choice
- Transition year
- What happens in the classroom
- Uniforms and personal appearance
After a vote by all 200 delegates by private ballot, the winning topic was What happens in the Classroom’. This will form the basis of the work-plan for the incoming Comhairle na nÓg National Executive 2016-17.
