A National Youth Policy for the next millenium

One of the most salient points of a government's commitment to youth, is its youth policy and implementation.

The National Youth Policy was first adopted in 1993 and was the subject of discussions during a National Seminar in 1995.

According to the stated aims of the National Youth Policy which has been drawn up together with the National Youth Council and other Non-Governmental Youth Organisations, the policy is to be periodically revised in accordance with changing circumstances and visions for the future of youth, of society and of the country in general.

A national seminar having these objectives as its main theme will be held on Saturday, 9th May 1998, at the Best Western Les Lapins Hotel, Ta' Xbiex.

The full aims and expectations of this important event in the youth field at a national level will be explained during the course of a Press Conference, which will be addressed by the Parliamentary Secretary for Youth, Sport, Culture and the Arts Dr. J. Cilia and by the President of the National Youth Council, Ms. Lorraine Napier. The Press Conference will be held in the Boardroom of the Parliamentary Secretariat for Youth, Sport, Culture and the Arts, in Floriana, on Thursday 7th May 1998 at 11.00 a.m.
