Reykjavík City has a legal duty to ensure the welfare of all residents. A big part of this is consulting with various groups. According to Article 102 of the Local Authorities Act No. 138/2011, city residents have the right to influence municipal governance, including through participation in resident councils. The "Young Leaders" project aims to give young people of foreign origin a chance to be heard. All personal data processing serves the public interest. It creates new opportunities for young people of foreign origin. The processing is based on Item 5 of the first paragraph of Article 9 of the Data Protection Act No. 90/2018, cf. Item 2 of Article 102 of the Local Authorities Act. The processing is also based on participant consent, cf. Item 1 of the first paragraph of Article 9 and Item 1 of the first paragraph of Article 11 of the same Act.
