The meaning for future policy II
An instrument to follow trends
Facts and figures about children, not primarily about
evaluation of policy
Relations, cause & effect, cross-over
Last but not least: an instrument for youth participation
Reality check what do youngsters say themselves?
According to the report, 25% of all
children has obesity, but in this school
there are only slim kids!
There’s a lack of opportunities for internships; could
you talk to companies to create more?
