The Galician Youth department is the area of Xunta de Galicia in charge of youth policies. The main purpose is to get a real participation of youngsters in the society by promoting initiatives which mediate between young people and the rest of age ranges. We want to improve the well-being and the opportunities of Galician youth by developing actions and programs that benefit them in terms of competencies, health and entertainment.
Some of our programs are: Xuventude Crea (art contest), Campaña de Verán (camps for teenagers in the summer), Iniciativa Xove (supporting young and fresh ideas in any field), Parlamento Xove (debating program between young people) or Carné Xove (management of European youth card in Galicia).
Youth information is the key point to reach that goal. Young people must know the information channels and they should use them in an active way. Furthermore, we continously work focusing a two-way communication, this means: we interact with them to get information about what they organize, to spread their events and improve our knowledge about young citizens.
