Details:
The Youth Social Rights Network (Y-S.R.N.) in cooperation with the European Youth Centre (EYC) of the Council of Europe, The Youth Department, invites you to participate in the international meeting – Together for social rights which will take place at the EYC in Strasbourg, France from 25th of February till 2nd of March 2013. Participants should arrive on 24th of February and depart on 3rd of March. The meeting will bring together youth workers and local authorities (elected representatives or civil servants) from the Council of Europe member states working on access to social rights for young people and social policy issues. It will focus on fighting discrimination and exclusion through social cohesion; ensuring that social rights and social inclusion are a reality for young people in Europe while putting accent on raising awareness, at national and local level, on human/social rights issues affecting young people particularly those from disadvantaged neighbourhoods through exchange of information, practices, experiences and joint work between youth workers and local authorities. We want to create firm ground for partnerships with different stakeholders and services involved in areas which are relevant for improvement of the access to social rights for young people particularly those from disadvantaged neighbourhoods to encourage and support cooperation, as well as to improve the network’s capacity in order to meet the set aim and objectives that lead to improved access to social rights for young people.
Background
The idea for international meeting was born during the previous experience of the founders of The Youth Social Rights Network. Being part of a long term project of the Council of Europe, called ENTER5, the members of the network identified the main obstacles while working on access to social rights for young people in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, and one of them was the lack of mutual work and cooperation with local authorities. Being aware that the concept of social cohesion and youth participation matters to everybody, the members of The Youth Social Rights Network decided to make a step forward and invite youth workers and local authorities on “the same table” to join efforts and establish partnerships needed for better access to social rights for young people in Europe, their inclusion in societies and active participation as responsible citizens.
Aim and objectives
The aim is to promote access to social rights for young people at local level (particularly from disadvantage neighborhoods) by training and networking between youth organizations, youth workers and local authorities.
Objectives have been defined as:
• To familiarize participants on the existing European Social Rights standards, policies and mechanisms and how can they apply locally to promote the access to social rights (particularly in disadvantaged neighbourhoods);
• To deepen the competences and the capacity of the participants to advocate for improving the access to social rights (particularly in disadvantaged neighborhoods);
• To create a space of joint cooperation between youth workers and local authorities in improving the access to social rights (particularly in disadvantaged neighborhoods);
• To share experiences, good practices, shortcomings and challenges in disadvantaged neighborhoods regarding access to social rights for young people;
• To develop and discuss the future of the network;
• To create concrete local follow-up ideas on access to social rights in connection with Council of Europe work and support measures in Social Inclusion.
Youth workers’ profile:
• Youth workers, leaders, social workers, volunteers, advocacy activists etc;
• To be a member of organization working actively in the field of social rights for young people;
• To be aged between 18 and 30 years;
• To have organizational support for joining the meeting and follow up.
