Young people are in a special position where they contribute to social change. Often they do not have vested interests as adults. In their formal and informal groupings, youth around the world already play important roles as social actors and agents of change and the future of youth participation can build on this foundation, developing partnerships and celebrating diversity and innovation.
It is a challenge to institutions to become more open to the talent, enthusiasm and courage of the young.

I agree with you, young people are here to participate but aren't always looked at as the right ones for the job.

as you rightly conclude it is indeed a challenge for institutions to accomodate youth involvement,in my limited experience as an unheard youth i think direct action /involvement of youth in thier relative concerns is the need of the day ,the courage exists but is not apparent,break loose of conventional wisdom and put forward your participation this ,in my belief, is the only tried and tested way to discover dynamics in any processes or relationships. JUST DO IT is indeed a powerful motto,as my guru says the brave may live only a few moments the cautious don,t live at all

The youth are the only symbol of revolution in the world. We have the capability to spur change.
That is a fact.
thanks for your comments everyone Piyoo Kochar | Feb 27th, 2008
.. i really appreciate that! I was wondering if you think that with increasing access to technology as a possible way for young people to 'just do it', is there any significant improvement in their involvement/inclusion? I would be happy to hear what you all have to say :) Again, thanks for reading and commenting!
