Objectives

The From Power to Empowerment project aims to provide youth workers with concrete tools to identify and deconstruct the often invisible power dynamics present in their professional and social environments. When these dynamics are not recognised, they fuel inequalities, hinder emancipation, and limit the participation of the most marginalised young people. The objective is to contribute to the creation of fairer, more inclusive and more equal environments within the field of youth work. To achieve this, the project encourages participants to: - Strengthen their critical analysis skills in order to identify and examine the power structures that shape their daily lives and professional practices with young people. - Rethink and experiment with spaces of horizontal governance, in order to foster more democratic modes of organisation that are less prone to the concentration of power. - Share and co-create pedagogical and creative tools that raise young people’s awareness of the power dynamics shaping their lives, while supporting them in developing autonomy and agency. Through this process, the project seeks to equip youth workers to become agents of change, able to transform their professional environments and contribute to greater social justice.
