OECD Youth Poster Competition, France (2015)

To create a poster reflecting the challenge of fixing government to include more voices in public decisions and help address growing income inequality. Using the powerful poster format, young people are invited to express their unique views and ideas on how we can change the rules so that everyone can have access to better public services (such as schools and healthcare) and a better life (through less unemployment, better jobs and job satisfaction, less discrimination and more opportunities for all). The poster should be motivating and visual and they should address one of the following themes:

- Giving young people a voice in the government decision process;
- Opportunity for all! (Everyone deserves access to good schools, good health care, good jobs, a decent salary, a healthy environment, etc…);
- Including more voices and more diverse voices in government decisions creates societies that are fairer to all;
- Improving everyone’s well-being results in a stronger society than just concentrating on more material wealth (GDP);
- The negative effects of income inequality on society;
- An idea for reducing income inequality;
- Changing the rules to help everyone have access to a better life;
- Encouraging government to listen to everyone, not just to those with the most power and influence;
- Getting involved in school, neighbourhood, community or larger organisations to make things better, such as providing better services.
