The Euro-Arab training course "Youth Participation and Gender Equality" focuses on ways to increase meaningful youth participation based on the principles of the Council of Europe Revised Charter on the Participation of Young People in Local and Regional Life and relevant similar dispositions in the Arab region, more specifically by looking into how young people participate in the decision-making processes and in other forms of social and political participation. A specific emphasis will be placed on gender equality, notably how to secure gender equality in youth participation and how participatory approaches can enable (better) gender equality.
The aim of this course is to enable and to motivate participants to develop and implement youth work or youth policy practices that support meaningful forms of youth participation and gender equality in a context of Euro-Arab intercultural dialogue.
The activity is co-organised by the Council of Europe Youth Department and the League of Arab States, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the State of Qatar.
