Academic literature on the topic 'National Youth Council of St'

In the 21<sup>st</sup> century, participation is one of the key words related to the operations of museums and debate around them. The public are encouraged to co-create museum projects: exhibitions, programmes that accompany exhibitions, studies; they play the role of consultants and advisors (youth councils, clubs, consultancy teams). Museums are more and more widely ‘opening’ to embrace the public. Never before has the position of visitors been as significant. An overview of participatory programmes in Polish museums is provided. They are classified and characterized by the Author who places them within the philosophy of museum operations, particularly with respect to the altering role of museums, currently debated over within ICOM, with the context of the new museum definition in mind; furthermore, she presents the initial conclusions drawn from the implementation of such projects for museums. In the paper the material from interviews conducted as part of the Atlas of Museum Participation Project implemented with a grant from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage has been used.

Methodology. This scientific research has been conducted on the basis of comparative analysis of modern Internet resources and bibliographic sources on children's tourism. Statistical method in terms of 2 and 5 annual data as well as information of recent publications on children’s tourism in Ukraine and Ivano-Frankivsk region has been used to determine the quantitative indicators and dynamics of healed and rested children. Methods of analysis and comparison have been used to determine and compare children’s tourism product price policy. Results. It has been found out that the major part of tourism products are produced by Ivano-Frankivsk Regional State Center for Tourism and Local History of Student Youth (RSCTLHSY). All the activities that have been carried out by RSCTLHSY since the beginning 2019 are systemized and presented to prove the above mentioned. It has been also established that subjects of tourist activity play a great role in the organization of children’s recreation and rest. The dynamics of the number of children under the age of 17 who were provided with services of tourist activity subjects including the number of inbound (foreign), outbound, domestic tourists-children is presented. In addition the number of beds in health facilities and dynamics of children served in them have been analyzed. Indicators of the number of recreation facilities and the number of children who stayed there are presented. The geography of inbound and outbound children-tourists has been established. The role of the tourist and art complex "St. Nicholas’ Estate" in the development of children's tourism is noted, its infrastructure has been analyzed. Attention is also paid to the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Council, which approved the regional target social program for children's health and recreation for 2016-2020, according to which there was a significant increase in children-tourists number. A comparison of the pricing policy of health and recreation facilities for children-tourists on a national scale is presented. Scientific novelty.

In April 1986, Leeds City Council staged a three day European Employment Conference on local employment initiatives involving Leeds and its twin cities Dortmund (Federal Republic of Germany) and Lille (France). High on the conference agenda was the problem of youth unemployment. This article discusses some of the local initiatives which were presented at the conference, against the background of various national education, training and employment creation schemes in operation in Germany, Britain and France. It is argued that although their overall impact on the youth unemployment problem is relatively small, the local initiatives described in this paper do provide training of a quality which is often lacking in many of the large-scale nationally based schemes.

Research from the field of non-formal education (NFE) in youth work emphasises the central role of experiential learning and learning in groups. The present paper aims to research teaching methods and teaching formsin NFE in youth work. The research sought to answer the following research questions: ‘What teaching forms can be found in NFE for young people in youth councils on a national level in Slovenia?’ and ‘What teachingmethods can be found in NFE for young people in youth councils on a national level in Slovenia?’ Data was collected using semi-structured interviews; the instrument was a list of questions. The empirical research was conducted in July 2016 with six interviewees. The results indicate that learning in selected NFE in the National Youth Council of Slovenia (MSS) is participatory, interactive, inclusive and student-focused; with central concepts of experiential learning and learning in groups. The key teaching form is learning in groups. However, individual work, work in pairs, programmed instruction and direct instruction are also present. The central and omnipresent teaching method is experiential learning. Problem-based learning, case-study method, action learning, and project-based learning are intertwined and connected to the experiential learning method. Other methods include verbal-textual methods, illustrative-demonstration methods, experimental methods, peer learning, and support methods. The conclusions are applicative in the didactic spectrum of NFE in youthwork and in the wider didactic spectrum of adult learning. Implications for further research include teaching methods and forms in NFE inside the wider youth sector, internationally comparative and through quantitativeresearch.

Drawing on research interviews and relevant document analysis, this paper analyses the changing forms of the national education agenda as it was developed and modifed in the Australian Education Council from 1987 to 1993. Particular attention is given to four significant developments in this period: national curriculum statements and profiles in schooling, and Mayer competencies; the training reform agenda; higher education; and the National Strategy for Equity in Schools. The study is located against general developments in Australian federalism and the changing political complexion of State governments across the period which led to the creation of the Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs.

On Monday and Tuesday July 4 and 5,1994, a national conference was held at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, concurrently with the annual National Festival of Music for Youth. Organised jointly by Music for Youth and the newly renamed Music Education Council, and supported by the Times Educational Supplement, it aimed to address questions of support and provision for music education and the maintenance of quality in music education in the light of changing national structural and funding circumstances in the UK. This report outlines the platform speakers' contributions in precis form, together with an overview of the emerging themes and issues identified during both presentations and question/discussion sessions.

At the National Consultative Forum on Transforming the Administration of Justice System in Nigeria, convened by the Federal Minister of Justice and the Federal Attorney-General in November 2001, it was decided to draft a National Action Plan on Justice Sector Reform in Nigeria and to produce a Justice Vision document. The Ministry of Justice and the Attorney-General's office identified the need to examine ways of (a) upholding the Constitution and the rule of law; (b) promoting justice, fairness and human dignity; and (c) incorporating and expanding community participation in the administration of justice. The Legal Aid Council of Nigeria could contribute to this process by establishing a public defender network using law graduates in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). It may be possible to use the NYSC scheme to expand dramatically the current level of legal aid in Nigeria by employing the services of NYSC law graduates more extensively as public defenders. In order to consider the feasibility of such a programme the following factors will be considered: (i) the availability of lawyers and law graduates; (ii) the duties imposed by the Nigerian Constitution; (iii) the function of the Legal Aid Council; (iv) the operation of the Legal Aid Council; (v) the provision of legal aid services by the Legal Aid Council; and (vi) the cost of establishing a structured NYSC public defender programme.

In the summer of 2015 the City of Edmonton Youth Council proposed a motion to City Council to adopt solely vegetarian or vegan food for all catered meetings for the purpose of environmental sustainability. The motion garnered national media attention, starting with a focus on the motion itself, however quickly transformed into a story about sexism when the online reader commentary started to attack the Youth Council Committee Chair Marina Banister. This paper will analyze the backlash Banister received in the online commentary sections by breaking apart four articles from CBC News Edmonton, Yahoo News Canada, and the Edmonton Journal. The online comments written in reaction to news articles about Banister’s motion to City Council will be assessed in how they delegitimized her argument and undermined her political credibility. Ultimately the paper will conclude that the online comments focused on Banister which distracted from the motion itself and challenged her credibility as an expert on this issue.
