People's Panel - Auckland Councils' public input answer

People's Panel

What is the People's Panel?
To improve ongoing public input into council consultations and planning, Auckland Council has established an email based People's Panel or e-panel. The Panel provides an opportunity for Auckland people to have their say on a range of issues and to be a sounding-board for future policies and decisions.

We are recruiting people to the panel on a regular basis, with the aim of growing the panel so it is statistically representative of the population of Auckland.

How to get involved
We would like you to complete at least three surveys a year. In return, we will provide regular results and feedback from the People's Panel, so you can see how your views are impacting on council policies and plans.

The panel's membership is constantly 'refreshed' to continue to provide opportunities for people to get involved in local decision making.

Our xmas wishes for 2011...

Here are some ideas on what some of us EYN workers thought would be awesome for our network in 2011...

Specific planned events

• MORE YOUTH EVENTS!! Organised events/ activities for youth run in collaboration;
  
• Movies or music about GI
• Graffiti Art Painting expanded
  
• Arts Collaboration
• EYN clean up the reserve with local youth
• Connecting with youth more about what support they want
• Creating engaging, fun and useful tools for all of us EYN youth workers.
• Strengthen EYN – having a social gathering mid-year, a Picnic day for EYN and families to strengthen bonds

EYN Youth Worker Involvement

• More involvement with young people
• For the network to be a strong group of well connected and committed youth workers
• People creating and holding roles to help EYN – communication person, minute taking person, facilitator person...
• For us to have more meaningful meetings – maybe projects or themes everyone can participate in, own and celebrate!
• To keep bringing community together and help our youth and families
• For people to come to EYN wanting to contribute time and themselves to be involved in what is happening.

Keen to have your say? We'll be making a calendar of activities and people will be taking roles on at our FIRST 2011 MEETING! check out http://eastsideyouthnetwork.blogspot.com to find out when that is!

NOTICE: TO BE DEVELOPED FROM 2011 ONWARDS!!

This space is a work in progress everyone! It's a space for everyone to come and check out what's the hap's in Tamaki (Glen Innes, Panmure and Point England) according to The Eastside Youth Network peeps!
