Objectives

The primary goal of this project was to explore best practices in the provision of youth spaces in Helsinki to support the development of a dedicated youth hub and youth friendly spaces within cultural and civic buildings in Galway City. By learning from successful youth work models from partners in the City of Helsinki Youth Division, the project aimed to enhance the quality and accessibility of youth services for marginalised and vulnerable young people. The study visit mobility aimed to enable youth workers, youth work managers and community development organisations to gain insights into multi-stakeholder partnerships and innovative approaches to creating safe, inclusive, and engaging spaces for young people.
