The aim of the project is to develop methods and structures to support youth initiatives to foster active participation, strengthening democracy and youth’s capacity to affect the improvement of the well-being of young people. It will do it by offering a space and peer support for youth and youth organisations to share experiences, best practises and lessons learnt in supporting youth participation in each four partnering countries and jointly explore new solutions to tackle the challenges youth face in order to meaningfully participate in their societies. Particular emphasis is given to find supportive mechanisms to empowerment of young people belonging to marginalised groups and young people whose basic rights are violated. In practise the project provides partners a possibility to learn from each other by observing and sharing their practical experiences and working methods during study visits. During the project period four study visits will be organised, one in each partner country. Each study visit will have a specific theme and targets specific challenge of youth participation and specific objectives of this call for proposals, and relate to 1) cooperation between youth organizations, 2) active citizenship and effective participation in decision-making processes 3) Human rights monitoring with particular regards to the situation of youth and vulnerable groups in the partner countries 4) Effective advocacy and campaigning and 5) European citizenship and elections. 16 dissemination seminars (4 in each country) and a lesson learnt seminar will analyse the extent to which policies and practices in each country comply with youth participation and how these can be improved as well as together advice governmental bodies on youth policy development. A joint publication summarizing the findings will be published in the end of the project and will be disseminated in all partner countries sharing the lessons learnt and the comparative findings of the project.
