Equitable participation in students councils

Project Details

Description

Central to the upcoming report is an examination of the legal and policy framework surrounding pupils’ councils in the Nordic region. This involves a deep dive into national regulations governing youth participation in educational settings, alongside an exploration of best practices and innovations within students council structures.

The University of Iceland’s proposal underscores the significance of addressing disparities in participation opportunities within students councils. This includes tackling inequalities in participation opportunities and offering recommendations for improvement to ensure that all voices are heard and valued in the decision-making process. With a structured approach, the methodology prioritises data collection methods and a robust analysis framework to ensure a thorough comprehension of the subject matter.
