Ruuti Participation System in Helsinki
•Young people make the agenda
•We allow young people to have different opinions, no
need for unity amongst young people
•Different people need different ways of participation
•Participation based on multiple motivations
(interest in politics, forced by school, negative experiences
etc.)•Own experience is enough
•Situation is pleasant for adults and young people
•Young people meet both politicians and civil servants
