It also has a proactive function to give voice to the younger generations within the territory for them to be able to put forward requests and ideas of to those who manage the Reserve.

Deputy Youth Council Spokesperson

The Regulations governing its activities were drawn up directly by the young people who initially joined the Julian Pre-Alps Nature Park project – the managing body of the Julian Alps Biosphere Reserve – and were approved by the Park Authority’s Executive Board. The Regulations outline the Council’s objectives and functions, while highlighting the values of reference and laying down the norms to make sure it is implemented properly.

Participation is voluntary and open to all young people who wish to join.
