Contributing and Changing: Young People's Involvement in Government Planning and Decision Making was endorsed by Ministers in July 2004 and launched on International Youth Day in August 2004. It was developed to provide a common set of guiding principles to inform youth participation practices at all levels of government, building on the agreements made in Stepping Forward – Improving Pathways for All Young People, and constituting a key deliverable of a number of outcomes articulated in the Stepping Forward Action Plan.
