Save the Children New Zealand: Election 2011

Save the Children believes all young New Zealanders should be able to participate and provide perspectives on issues that affect them. In the run up to the Election and beyond we are interested to hear the views of those who won’t be officially voting.

We hope you will take the opportunity to have your say. You can do this in two ways – take a look at the six cases that young New Zealanders have told us are important and see what you think, and take part in our survey about what you think the new Government should be considering for children and young people.

When you submit your answers you can use your real name or remain anonymous - it's up to you. Save the Children will be using this information to inform Government and policy makers, schools and organisations about your perspectives.

So SIGN UP and SIGN IN now and be part of the future of democracy – this is Social Networking with Brains!

When you go through each case, you’ll have Think Screen tools that allow you to communicate how you think and feel. There is also space to write your views about the issues in your own words.

When you've said all that you want to, just click SUBMIT to find out how your ideas compare with what everyone else says on the Reports Dashboard. There’s even the chance to talk with other young people on the Values Exchange and to create forums about issues that are important to you.
