In 2018, as a result of a Structured Dialogue with young people, decision-makers, and other stakeholders, the European Union developed the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027. This youth strategy set out to achieve eleven European Youth Goals. These aims to overcome main challenges that young people face in their daily lives, and present a vision of Europe that empowers young people to reach their full potential. Promoting the active participation of young people in decisions and actions at local, regional and international levels is essential if we are to build a more democratic, inclusive and prosperous society. However, many youth workers show difficulties in involving and activating young people in the initiatives and training activities dedicated to them. There are numerous reasons for it, for example low level of motivation to participate among young people, because, unfortunately pretty often young people do not believe that they can really make a change and their voices are important Also, sometimes youth workers don’t have the enough competencies to implement high quality, engaging activities, with would motivate, empower and inspire youth people to become active part of society Moreover, COVID-19 has further compromised meaningful engagement and participation of young people in sustainable development and peace, because the conditions that allow them to reach and unleash their full potential are undermined. Following the World Health Organization’s classification of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, governments all around the world are responding by enforcing measures such as social-distancing, quarantine and isolation. While necessary, these measures can severely compromise access, inclusion and participation, due to some of the restrictive physical, social and other barriers. All youthwork turned online and youth workers, in order to adjust to new realities had to start exploring and using tools and methods, which could be applied online and offline and still be involving, engaging and empowering in youth work The aim of “LET´S MAKE A STORY” project was to increase the skills of youth leaders through the acquisition of effective, informal and "youth friendly" techniques and methodologies and create a facilitated discussion spree between participating youth workers to share information, data, best practices and knowledge about concepts and principles of youth participation and how to inspire and empower young people to become active at the local, regional and international levels With this aim, we were planning through this LTTC to equip the youth workers with creative methods, tools and instruments, which will help to encourage young people to take initiatives in their local communities and influence on things by using this widely used methods of comic making and storytelling. This will lead to increasing of youth participation level and show the youth that their voices can be heard and they are extremely important part of society. UNICEF has adopted the rights-based approach to children and young people, viewing participation as a human right and an end itself. Participation matters for its own sake, regardless of measurable or demonstrated benefits for various groups or purposes. Additionally, participation is recognized by UNICEF as integral to the democratic ethos and to building civil society This project consisted of two training courses and a local stage between them. The first TC explored the methodology of storytelling and the second one creation of comics During the “homework” stage, the participants needed to organize the workshop for target groups they work with and present the information about the project and storytelling We have chosen the art of comics and storytelling because it's popular, creative and contemporary and because it's able to relate the imaginary (desires and aspirations) and tell the present (reality made of diversity), thus stimulating young people to reflect and to communicate their needs, visions and potentials. Youngsters, and people in general, are greatly attracted by the powers of a good story. By understanding these methods better and exploring how they can use them in youth work, the participants of the LTTC will be able to address and connect with their target group much better, being also able to develop activities that are more successful and can ensure a lasting impact on their territories. Moreover, this approach can be used as offline as online, which is extremely relevant to our “new reality” After the LTTC, the youth workers are able to work with their target group, using methods of storytelling and comics as “face-to-face” activities as online ones. By the end of the project, participants created their comics, which were presented at the exhibition and then published and share on social media to raise awareness about the importance of youth participation and promote the results of the project.
