Scarf of the regional advisers of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

The regional advisers of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur wear a two-tone sash, red and gold. Unlike the tricolor sash of parliamentarians and municipal elected officials,[5] the wearing of the regional sash is not sanctioned by an official text.

Regional Youth Parliament

edit

The regional youth parliament was created in 2017 by the president of the regional council, Renaud Muselier. Its aim is to contribute to regional public policies on themes that directly or indirectly concern young people in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It allows young parliamentarians to discover the functioning of the regional authority, within the framework of an active citizenship and to bring out projects carried out by young people.

Parliament meets in the form of plenary assemblies, factories and workshops. It has an operating council. It can also meet ad hoc working groups on an ad hoc basis. In July 2017, an autonomy budget was allocated to the Regional Youth Parliament so that it could carry out its projects.

The young parliamentarians, numbering 80, represent the region with regard to the demographic weight of their training sector in the regional territory (public / private high schools, CFA of the region and students in health and social facilities), as well as with respect of the principle of parity between women and men and of territorial balance. The term of office is one year, renewable once.[6][7]
