Hi Barry, I don't know if this is the type of thing you looking for, but I've been working on this project for the last 5 years..(Scotland, UK)
The Highland Youth Voice project concerns working with young people to develop an e-democracy website to serve their parliament. Highland Youth Voice (HYV) is a democratically elected assembly of young people in the Highland Region of Scotland: a local youth parliament. Members (aged 14-18) are elected every 2 years and represent geographical districts, either as representatives of schools or local youth fora. Highland Youth Voice is sponsored by the Highland Wellbeing Alliance: a coalition of public bodies working in the Highlands with an interest in young people's happiness and welfare. As well as being a practical way for young people to have some control over issues which effect them, HYV gives young people an early and positive experience of citizenship. More about the project here http://itc.napier.ac.uk/ITC/ProjectInfo.asp?ID=9 the current website is here http://www.highlandyouthvoice.org/home.asp we had a busy forum recently... http://www.highlandyouthvoice.org/YourVoice/Intro.asp?debate=23&archive= yes I'd be happy to let you know more stuff, if I knew more about what you were looking for.
