It’s not just about "apathy." It’s about impact.

We asked, you answered🎤

From Kingston to Montego Bay, we talked to Jamaicans about #WhoGetsHeard in urban policy decisions

Watch the vox pop and tell us: Do you believe your voice influences policy decisions? 👇

“I called a certain agency and asked for information, and they asked me, ‘What do you need this for?’

As a citizen, there should be no question about why I need information. If you’re offering a public service, information should be proactively available so people can feel empowered and engaged.” — Dr. Gavin Myers (@gavinmyaz)

Final reflections: "this is a call to further action... our call to action must be to inspire, motivate, and empower young people to respond not only to their own needs but to their communities' needs." Fabian Brown.

"Those who are interested come forward, but they don't speak up much. The young people are mostly interested in just surviving."
#WhoGetsHeard #PublicParticipation #YouthVoice

[OneCity @OneCityJA]

"The young people who are interested in participating tend to be student leaders. The others don't seem to be much interested. Many young people are so distracted."

"Many people who want to access HEART are not coming into the office so we have to find other ways to reach our potential clients, such as social media & radio, as well as better understand why they don't know about HEART courses."

#WhoGetsHeard #PublicParticipation #YouthVoice

[OneCity @OneCityJA]

"HEART is big on inclusivity. We have several stakeholder engagements through varied channels. Young people speak to and about us in the social media space. We have a budget for stakeholder engagement & perception studies." #WhoGetsHeard #PublicParticipation #YouthVoice

[OneCity @OneCityJA]

"There is a lack of knowledge on HOW to participate -- there is a challenge in FINDING where to participate -- participation becomes a test of endurance. It's not apathy but looking for ways to participate."

"I always wonder how one gets the opportunity to participate. Is it only uptown people who get to do that?"
