Summary:
The Youth in Action Programme is actively promoting young people’s active citizenship and participation through giving support to a number of projects across Europe. However, participation practices vary to different levels of autonomy and responsibility depending on a number of factors. Our CULTURE influences how we understand and realize participation. This can cause misunderstandings and become a barrier in international co-operations, unless it is reflected and taken into consideration. This training course will explore and analyze different approaches and practices of participation in relation to different cultures. It will provide tools and methods for participants to increase the ability to realize participation within diverse cultural contexts using opportunities offered by Youth in Action Programme.

Group leaders, youth workers, mentors, ex-participants of projects, trainers being active in the Youth in Action Programme (at least 1 project experience).

For participants from: Youth in Action programme countries
