What is a Youth Democracy project?
Youth Democracy projects allow young people to increase their participation in democratic practices. The projects are for young people, aged 13-30 - and their leaders and enable participants to make their voices heard on issues that affect them. A project involves working with a partner organisation from your own country and that national partnership will cooperate with a duo partnership elsewhere in Europe, carrying out activities that are linked to active youth participation and democratic issues for 3 to 18 months.
Aim of the Contact Making Seminar
The aim of the CMS is to establish partnerships for Youth Democracy Projects and to develop projects and skills to apply for this action in the YIA programme.
Objectives
• To find partners and develop an International Youth Democracy Project;
• To gain an in-depth understanding of Youth Democracy Projects and how to apply for grants from Youth in Action programme;
• To develop a project plan and identify the competences needed to implement an international project;
• To reflect on the added value and impact of international projects, particularly Youth Democracy Projects, for local communities;
• To get ideas and inspirations on activities that can be implemented in the local community to deepen the dialogue between young people and decision makers.
