How can young people help shape public policy? Youthwise, the OECD's Youth Advisory Board, was established in 2021 with a dual mission: to foster a better understanding of international policymaking and the OECD's work among young people, and to bring forth the valuable perspectives and ideas of youth to the Organisation.
Youthwise is made up of young people aged 18 to 30. These brilliant individuals bring a diverse range of academic and professional backgrounds and interests to the table in fields such as artificial intelligence and technology, education, health and social care, climate, environment, gender equality and social mobility.
