Here's one that was in my paper today.
A couple of hundred youths from various schools had a day in Parliament where they got to present, negotiate and vote on several ideas that they'd been working on for some time, among them such issues as DNA-databases, community service for youths, government-paid dentistry and improvements for asylum seekers.
Youth Parliamentary Day it's called. Great idea, and no doubt very instructive. The climax of the day is supposed to be when the Prime Minister pays a visit and receives the proposals that have been "passed" by the student parliamentarians.
This is what we see here, PM Anders Fogh Rasmussen talking to one of the students. Others, however, attend to more interesting matters..
