Partycypacja społeczna młodzieży na przykładzie młodzieżowych rad gmin – część II

This paper is a second part of the analysis regarding social participation of the youth. One of the most fundamental institutions which stimulates the activity of the young people in commune selfgovernmentin the Juvenile Gmina Council. Aforesaid institution is laconically adjusted in Polish statutory regulations and is mainly based on the statutes enated by Gmina Council. The comparison of such statutes illustrates that despite of some varieties, some common standards recarding all Juvenile Gmina Councils can be indicated. A deeper outlook on the implemented solutions leads to conclusionthat the Juvenile Gmina Council which has a very similar structure to the traditional Gmina Council and is also subjected to supervision of the institutions of Gmina, it enables the practical education of functioning the commune self-government. Unfortunately at the same time, due to specific provisions of the electoral system which combines the Juvenile Councils with public schools, the strenghtening bonds with local community seems much more difficult.
