The Regional Federation of Youth and Culture Centres in Occitanie (FRMJC) and the Federation of Youth Centres in Belgium (FMJ) are two associations that emerged from the popular education movement and bring together a network of more than two hundred youth organisations. Both organisations develop methodologies that enable their networks to become learning organisations through the sharing of knowledge and expertise among stakeholders and the capitalisation of each individual's experiences. The FRMJC and the FMJ, in consultation with stakeholders in their networks, have identified the need to develop initiatives for 12-25 year olds in relation to the following societal issues: the role and place of our associations in supporting young people's democratic life, particularly in the acquisition of citizenship-related skills; the importance of working on an intercultural approach in relation to our audiences, particularly young people; and the fight against discrimination and the rise of radicalism. Based on these shared observations and challenges, the FRMJC and the FMJ wish to work together to develop the capacity of youth organisations to design projects in line with their audiences and the societal challenges they face. In this sense, we wish to: - Develop a joint effort that we can defend in the name of community involvement and the relevance of our associations. Our objective will be to: Raise young people's awareness of association governance and give them the keys to actively participate in our bodies, while providing our facilitators and volunteers with new tools to support this process in a structured and inclusive manner. This approach aims to strengthen the link between young people and association governance by not only giving them an active role on boards of directors, but also providing them with the tools they need to contribute effectively. Equipping youth workers with these tools is essential to ensure that the support provided is appropriate and that our associations can assert their unique identity. Here, we raise the crucial issue of including young people in decision-making processes at a time when they are particularly seeking meaning and active participation, but in their own way. This is an investment in the future of associative democracy, but also in a society that we want to be more representative of the population, more inclusive, and above all more involved in the issues facing today's society. In essence, it is about learning to ‘build a city’ together. - Through a shared tool, we have chosen to link our practices. The METIS system is an educational tool designed to promote mutual understanding between the project's stakeholders and audiences. It acts as a medium that facilitates exchange and dialogue. We have therefore chosen to use education and play to address fundamental issues. The METIS tool is the ‘how’ of getting young people involved in this project. It will also be an opportunity to gauge each organisation's ability to make room for youth projects internally. Through METIS, we are choosing activism through art, putting ‘artivism at the service of reconciliation among our young people’.
