Introduction

I am looking to represent equality because I do not think it is funny if someone is bullied e.g. because of their skin tone or because they cannot speak proper Finnish. I like dogs, I have a six-month-old dog myself. I speak Russian.

Hobbies: I used to practice Taekwondo from daycare age all the way to sixth grade. I quit because only remote training was possible during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was not good. I think that

Answers to the election machine

Schools should have more days during which they only serve vegetarian food.

Because there are people who do not eat meat or fish.

 

Schools should focus on grouping more extensively than now.

Because they can get to know each other better.

 

Distance learning needs to be established as a permanent learning method in addition to contact teaching.

I do not like distance learning myself. I think that physically going to school is better and it makes it easier for teachers to help individual pupils.

 

The competitiveness of young people’s sports activities should be reduced.

I do not have a strong opinion either way.

 

The City of Helsinki should primarily offer summer jobs to those young people who do not yet have work experience.

So that they would gain work experience because some jobs require experience.

 

The public spaces in Helsinki should maintain the division between women’s and men’s toilets.

I do not have a strong opinion either way.

 

Helsinki should start offering free public transport to those under 18.

Because some people may live far from their school.

 

It would be better if there were no e-scooters in Helsinki.

I do not have a strong opinion either way.

 

For a member of the Youth Council, pushing their own goals through is a more important quality than agreeing on compromises.

Because I make compromises with my friends. At least once a week. For example, how long a match of Super Smash Bros. we are going to play.

 

On which topics would you like the Youth Council to focus, in particular? Select the three that are the most important to you.

Schools and education; Summer jobs; Safety

Schools and education because I want to make schools safe for everyone, and summer jobs because I want everyone to have work experience.
