The background:
“Youth work dealing with youth participation faces many challenges and comes in many different experiences. Often young people's great participative potential is excluded from the decision making processes, due to the inexistence of standard conditions or even institutional prejudice. The lack of investment on youth participation frames up the picture where young people feel powerlessly aparted, and where not only Europe is losing it's main potential resource for positive change.”

• Explore youth participation common obstacles and problems, while formulating corresponding – and eventually innovative – solutions in the frame of youth work and non-formal education.
• Experience typical difficulties of a multicultural work setting, developing participants intercultural competences and their positive approach towards diversity.
• Provide an opportunity for participants to create an educational project aimed to youth participation and to develop an envisaged educational tool, while strengthening the network between the involved partner NGYO’s.
