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. |
