Margot Wallström encourages young people to make their voices heard 20/06/2008 by: Joan Lindberg 
After her introduction, Mrs Wallström took questions from the audience and discussed with the students. Some of the issues that interested young people were the Treaty of Lisbon, relations with individual member states, EU enlargement and human rights.
Issues discussed were for example the environment and the Kyoto Protocol, the Olympic Games in China, the situation in Burma, and, on a more personal level, the advantages and disadvantages of being a public figure. The main outcome of the event was that young people are the future and it is important that their voices are heard in matters that affect us all. Free and open discussion is the way to deal with challenges facing us in the areas of the environment, human rights, and social welfare.
