Young people are now seen as active players in organisations or in community life. They should have the opportunity to express their needs and to find ways of satisfying them. Although it is undoubtedly a problem that young people are increasingly failing to vote in elections, there are some studies which indicate that participation in different forms may actually be on the increase, for example, pressure groups, civic initiatives, consultative organs, and so on. These forms of participation are just as important to the effective functioning of democracy as voter turnout at elections, if not more so. That’s why we see CIVIC MONITORING as a tool for active participation. Civic monitoring is monitoring led by citizens and civil society actors; process of public scrutiny of public interest issues and political and economic power center. Main aim of this project was to empower youth workers to use Civic Monitoring as a tool in order to support and motivate young people for active involvement through the following specific objectives: *to raise awareness of importance of active involvement *to understand the relation between lack of information and low level of participation among young people *to explore broader understanding of citizenship. To be able to provide young people these forms of participation, youth work is an essential part of it. Youth workers need to be educated and skilled to be able to monitor and educate young people on different forms of participation.
