YOUTH MOVING aimed to enhance care leavers participation in democratic life in Europe, through their empowerment as active citizens, especially addressing how to connect with, express their views and be heard by stakeholders in the alternative care field. For children and young people who have experienced living in alternative care, separated from their biological family, the process of growing up is extremely demanding because they are often left without formal support and a functional social network. The aim and activities of this project were focused on strengthening the competencies of people working with youth from alternative care, to encourage youth to actively participate in society, to overcome limitations and to provide opportunities for young people to express their opinion. All of the above empowered young people from alternative care and we advocated for the improvement of the entire alternative care system, because the voice of those who know their reality and problems the best are now heard by people who work with them and by policy-makers.
