Youth participation at local level

By Johan Lycke

johan.lycke@ungdomsstyrelsen.se

Teaser :
Youth Participation is one of the main priorities in the field of youth policy. It is aimed at encouraging young people to be active citizens by taking an active part either in the civic life of their community or in the structures of representative democracy. In this framework, the Swedish National Agency in cooperation with SALTO-YOUTH Participation Resource Centre and the municipality of Jönköping decided to host a Seminar entitled “Youth Influence at local level”. This seminar will take place in Jönköping, Sweden from the 16th (arrival) to the 20th of March 2009 (departure).

News :

We look into the structure of the national framework for cooperation in the field of youth participation and to map methods designed to be implemented directly at local/municipal level.

Objectives :

  • To exchange knowledge, practices and experiences in terms of youth participation at local/municipal level;
  • to discuss present situation and future challenges in the youth field;
  • to explore different European and national funding possibilities for strengthening meeting between young people and decision makers;
  • to create a compendium with existing methods that supports successful work on youth participation

The seminar’s pedagogical platform is founded on Non-Formal Learning and will focus on interactive discussions rather than theoretical inputs.

Target group

The seminar will involve 40 participants resident in the Youth in Action Programme Countries. We believe the group should consist of experienced persons with either operative or strategic responsibility in the field. The group should be composed of youth workers, young people representing a group/organisation active at local/municipal level or youth policy stakeholders representing a local public body. The activity will be based on the principles of non-formal learning.
