Youth in Cesis has proved that they want develop and know how to achieve their ideas, projects and participate in the process of making politics.

Two years ago during a youth conference crystallized idea about youth council and one year ago such a council was established at Cesis. Youth Council (YC) consists of 11 deputies and elected chairman, vice-chairman and secretary.

The Council participated in PIPE-Latvia leader teaching seminars, where we learned how to write projects and documents, how to work with people and better understand each other. One of the first YC activities was Christmas tree decorating. Involved was youth from all city schools. They made decorations and decorated it to show solidarity of youth.

The Council's aim is to create stronger connection between city council and youth. Also this is the best way how to involve in city politics making. YC deputies attend meetings of City Council of Culture, Education and Sport committee where they can express their opinion and give advices about actual problems. Other activity is going in for raids to clubs, Internet cafes, cafes etc. together with policeman in order to follow the problems of juveniles.

One of the the biggest projects was organization of a festival on the first school day. The aim was to show leisure time spending possibilities and recreate youth of Cesis. There were exhibitions of youth organizations, concert with participation of youth amateur groups and couple professional groups. Funds for that event were from the City council, but the most part was given by sponsors.

The Youth Council are thinking about new project - Youth House, where youth could organize discussion evenings and other activities. The most important things are determination and wish to work than everything will be possible.
