Our main objective: was to engage, connect and empower 50 youngsters (25 from the Hague, 25 from Utrecht). Actually, the number of participants was higher; 188 participants in The Hague and 213 participants in Utrecht. 401 in total. Our sub-objectives were: - transform the city via voice and action by youngsters using the Doughnut Economy theory, a framework for sustainable development, considering social and planetary boundaries, therefore putting a focus on the environment, climate, and social inclusion; - bridging intercultural intergenerational and social divide via connecting youngsters with decision-makers; - growing the European identity, citizenship, and values so that youngsters understand their own values, grow in self-esteem, and match their values with the EU values; - put sustainable structures in place for inclusive youth participation. Our primary group of participants were youngsters from vulnerable areas in the cities of The Hague and Utrecht. They were selected by the teachers and youth workers that know the needs of these youngsters. Most of them have a minority background. Our secondary group of participants were: Youth workers and teachers: and local decision-makers; government, business partners. We targeted youngsters that felt “tokenized” (Roger Hart’s ladder of participation), disengaged and never participated in community work or voting processes before. Therefore, we invested a lot in the personal and emotional skills of the participants first: growing their self-esteem, developing their identity (values), gaining trust and confidence that you have a voice and that you can use it. Once participants find their voice, they’re ready to become active citizens. So to reach the main and sub-objectives we organized physical events along the lines of 3 streams including artistic expression. In the 3 streams participants first built their self-esteem and identity (I Am), they were then connected with others (We Are) and in the last stream they became active citizens (We Act;together). We worked in the two cities, Utrecht and The Hague, with a parallel programme for the targeted youngsters. The key themes we focused on were: a) bridging intercultural, intergenerational, and social divide; b) environment and climate; c) European identity, citizenship, and values.
