Objectives

As it is written in Youth Participation Strategy – “Across Europe, it is now necessary to consider how our democratic societies recognize and support a range of approaches to youth participation and engage a diverse range of young people in democratic life. At the same time, it is still a concern that many young people feel disconnected from our democratic structures and institutions, and there is an ongoing need to enable young people to participate in democratic institutions and political structures both directly and indirectly. Our project objectives was: - Motivate to promote the principles of youth participation across all activities done by youth workers, - Competence support young people to develop and implement activities, youth projects with a quality youth participation dimension, - Increase youth workers' awareness of the impact of youth participatory activities on youth participation in democratic life, - Dedicate attention to the participation in the democratic life of young people with fewer opportunities, - Get acquainted and develop non-formal education tools to increase the quality of youth participation in activities for youth. Youth participation is a concept that is shown by different documents EU Youth Strategy 2019–2027, European Youth goals, and Youth Participation Strategy. At the same time, it is one of the priorities of ERASMUS+ program. Together with project partners, we consider that Youth participation is the basics of youth work and is important to cognize it!
