National Executive meetings 2016-17
The Comhairle na nÓg National Executive 2016-17 commenced their term on Sat. 16th Jan 2016. The group have been working on the theme from Dáil na nÓg 2015 which was: Young people need a stronger voice in their education and school. The winning topic under this theme was What Happens in the Classroom and the group will focus on this for the two years of their term.
The group decided to progress their topic by conducting a nationwide survey to collect the views of young people about their theme of “What happens in the classroom”. Two independent researchers supported the development and collection of their survey. Finalised surveys were disseminated at the 31 Comhairle AGMs in 2016 and 3242 were sent back to DCYA for analysis. The report on the survey results were launched on 6th November 2017 in Firhouse Community College, Dublin 24. Both Minister Katherine Zappone and Minister Richard Bruton attended. You can read more about the launch here and watch the video below.
