The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to a person fighting for children's rights must be seen as a sign in the right direction: Malala Yousafzai (17) is the youngest competitor ever. His courage and commitment shows that young people can achieve great things regardless of their background and age. And it is clear that participation must be linked to the issue of fundamental democratic rights and youth education. Young people want to have their say and address their dissatisfaction in various ways, more or less well received in the Society. This context produces a dangerous amalgam that is gaining strength in almost every country across Europe. The objectives of the training are to share and reflect on the existing practices of youth participation in order to reinforce qualitative practices to overcome the obstacles to participation and to propose tools that are consistent with the realities and expectations of young people. Through this training, we wanted to share our experiences, compare our realities and exchange best practices to explore this subject and overcome these prejudices of low interest of young people for the "life of the City". It is a question of understanding, as youth workers, on the one hand, the obstacles that young people encounter to this participation in different contexts, to analyze the existence of discriminating criteria for participation and, on the other hand , to exchange content and tools to discuss with young people their conception of the roles they can play in society and to deconstruct certain ideas received in this area, to encourage and facilitate their participation, especially that of young people who are usually distant.
