Our project aimed to contribute to the creation of more democratic and inclusive structures that support the effective participation of young people in decision-making processes at the local and regional levels. In this regard, our main objective was to address the capacity gaps of youth workers, which are one of the main reasons for the lack of knowledge and inadequate implementation regarding youth participation, and to improve the quality of participatory youth practices. Specifically, the project aimed to: enable youth workers to understand the fundamental concepts, approaches, and European frameworks related to youth participation (especially the Council of Europe Regulation on Participation in Local and Regional Life); improve their knowledge and skills regarding the prerequisites, barriers, and effective methods of participation; support them in implementing models such as RMSOS and Six-Step, Ladder of Participation; equip them with the competencies to build stronger collaborations between young people and decision-makers at the local level; and contribute to the dissemination of sustainable practices that support young people's active citizenship skills. In line with these objectives, the project aimed to both develop the individual capacities of youth workers and increase the real and meaningful participation of young people in decision-making processes by creating a broader impact through the institutions they represent.
