Answers to the election machine

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

Because there are not all that many people who like vegetarian food at school. And the people I have seen want more meat dishes.

 

Schools should focus on grouping more extensively than now.

Because everyone has to be everyone’s friend. And it helps with exercises and cooperation.
Distance learning needs to be established as a permanent learning method in addition to contact teaching.

I think that everyone can decide things for themselves.

 

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

I think that everyone should take care of their own physical fitness and either participate or not.

 

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

Everyone should try something.

 

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

Because separate toilets could be better; there is less of a smell, etc.

 

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

If you have no money and there is an emergency, you should be able to travel.

 

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

E-scooters are a fast and safe way to travel.

 

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

Because I want to listen to other people’s hopes and wishes.

 

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

Games, summer jobs and events. Because I think that it is important for everyone to have fun at youth centres!
