Youth
participation and active involvement of young people in local and regional life
are one of the key concerns in the European integration process.
"Discover
the Power to Act - A Practical Guide for Youth Participation" originated
from a need for young people to take a more active role in society. In the
current period of austerity, job losses, high unemployment and increasing
social issues across Europe, it is vital that young people are not lost in this
time of uncertainty. Therefore this project aims to instill a sense of responsibility,
belonging and direction for young people and to empower their engagement with
democratic processes. This will be achieved through empowering active youth
leaders, young people and youth workers by bringing these people together and
offering a platform for debate, discussion and creativity. Empowering these
people is the first step to tackling the core issues of this project of youth
participation.
Project Objectives:
To
develop the participants understanding of the key principles of youth participation;
• To
develop a common understanding of participation and explore instruments for its
promotion among groups of young people who have fewer opportunities in civil
society or youth activities at local and regional level;
• To
develop an understanding of the relationship between concepts of citizenship,
participation, human rights, democracy and civil society;
• To
get familiar with various concepts and methodologies for developing youth
initiatives;
• To
improve participants’ skills in project-management (related to participation
projects);
• To
identify the added value of bilateral participation processes between public
authorities and youth workers/youth organisations;
• To
develop participants’ competence in using the revised European Charter on the Participation
of Young People in Local and Regional Life /publication of Council of Europe/
• To
encourage exchange of good practices on building and management of youth
participation projects;
• To
develop new tools and ideas for following up and developing existing projects.
The
following elements will be tackled by the training:
- Concept of civil society and democracy;
- Active participation and democratic
education;
- European Charter on Youth Participation on
local and regional level;
- Current needs and project development
analysis;
- Developing project ideas for youth
initiatives.
The
training course fits into the priorities and objectives of the Youth in Action
Programme. The project will contribute to young people’s active citizenship and
their European citizenship in particular and will promote European cooperation.
Moreover, it will promote recognition of non-formal education. Bridging and
linking youth participation with rural development will give additional and
advanced tools in addressing challenges faced in each country/community and
global challenges; will assist in raising awareness and mobilizing young people
around those issues. It is directed to creating possibilities for enhancing the
prospect for long-term collaboration.
