Dear Katja,
Thank you for your message and proposal. Unfortunately, 24th March is a terrible date, because we are
running a whole day event on ultra-processed food policies at Imperial, and it would be very difficult for me to participate in the YAG meeting. Of course, I would fully trust you to convey the spirit of the proposal and gather comments from participants if
you were prepared to go ahead with that plan. Alternatively, I would be happy to make myself available on another date if you thought an additional meeting could be set.
Just a quick thought. I am not sure how members of the YAG are selected, but if this is through youth organisations to which they belong, is there a risk that
some of those organisations might be involved in competing proposals? Sorry if this sounds slightly paranoid, but I would like to avoid giving away information that might be used inappropriately.
A final point on the writing up of a section of the proposal on youth co-creation. I wonder how you would feel about preparing one page of text on this subject
that we could include in the general description of our methodological approach. I think this should build both on the JA PreventNCD and on the previous Co-Create project. I would emphasise that we are not just using co-creation as a buzzword, but we are building
on concrete experiences, from which we can derive important lessons. It would also be useful if this description included an illustration of the structure of youth involvement that we propose in Z-HEALTH, including the role of the YAG alongside national (or
local) youth organisations.
Thank you.
Franco

Dear Franco and Z-Health management team,
As promised during our last meeting, I am reaching out about the opportunity for you to join a part of our ordinary YAG meeting on March 24th to present the Z-Health project proposal and
have a discussion with youth to obtain their perspective on the concepts.
The monthly meeting itself will take place on Zoom on Tuesday, the 24th of March, 17:00-19:00 CET. We have one or two agenda items that we need to cover in the beginning, but would you perhaps
be able to join in at around 17:30 or so? I could allocate you 30 min (or more if needed) - 10 min to introduce Z-Health and 20 min for discussion with YAG.
Would that work for you and your schedules? If not, please let me know and we can find an alternate timing for an extraordinary meeting with YAG.
