Aim:
To support young people, representatives of JECI-MIEC member organisations, participate meaningfully in sustainable democratic processes and reinforce their faith in democracy
Objectives:
- To reflect on the events of the past and present and critically analyse the possible implications on the democratic future.
- To introduce the concept of political participation of young people as more than “voting” or “being a member of a political party”
- To understand the linkage between political participation, democracy, and sustainable development
- To support participants to take actions about political participation of young people in their local environment
- To get the participants familiarized with the Council of Europe standards in the field of youth participation.
About the organisation
