Summary:
Youth participation is on everybody's lips. But what do we mean by it? In people's minds youth participation can be a fossilised term meaning only things that young people are not willing to do. Save yourself - break away from old misconceptions!
Target group: Youth workers, Trainers, Youth leaders, Activists, volunteers, professionals working with youth participation.
For participants from: Youth in Action Programme Countries.
Group size: 30 participants
Details:
You think Youth Participation is only about influencing politics? Think again! You think Youth Participation is only round tables and simulations? Think again! You think Youth Participation is only for privileged young people? Think again! You think Youth Participation projects always have to be big and expensive? Think again! Whether you work for an NGO, a community or city, whether you are active in a youth initiative or youth democracy project, whether you volunteer in a youth group or are a youth worker, youth trainer, youth leader, youth activist… JOIN US TO think again! Together with you, we want to improve the variety, innovation, quality and sustainability of participation projects in and beyond (?) the YOUTH IN ACTION Programme:
• through widening our overall understanding of youth participation and its diverse concepts, approaches, forms and formats;
• through looking and going beyond standard aims (such as influencing politics), standard formats (such as round tables), standard target groups (such as very motivated and active young people), standard themes (such as how can we can get young people to vote), standard approaches, standard networks;
• through tackling common and uncommon obstacles met while implementing participation projects;
• through developing ideas for projects covering the entire range of possibilities within the YOUTH IN ACTION Programme.
The seminar will be facilitated by an experienced team of trainers using exciting non-formal participative methods. We are looking for people to join us who would like to re-think youth participation (within and beyond the YOUTH IN ACTION Programme) with us.
We expect you to:
• be willing to re-think youth participation;
• be able to actively communicate in English;
• be able to attend the whole seminar;
• be at least 18 years old;
• be prepared to share your experiences with youth participation projects;
