This project was organised within DYPALL Network’s programme areas 1 “Quality development for stronger democracies”, and more specifically the Program 1.2. “Building synergies for quality local democracies”. Building democracies resilient to the increasing threats should be at the heart of public policies. We believe that by supporting the quality development of structures, processes and mechanisms that allow young people to experience democratic participation we are increasing their level of understanding and engagement in democratic institutions. Through this, we are also ensuring that decisions in our communities address the different needs and interests of youth and bring their full potential into public policy development. The project served a platform for networking and getting to know European organisations and municipalities working in the area of youth participation in decision-making processes at the local level with the aim of developing projects that can promote and enhance the participation of young people in designing local policies and reflect on the state of democracy and its significance for young people. We analysed the state of democracy in modern societies to help participants better understand the challenges and opportunities faced by European democracies and find ways to foster quality youth participation in decision-making processes at the local level. The participants explored the framework of support provided under Erasmus+ programme and take a closer look at the priorities it promotes and key actions it offers as tools to support their project ideas.
