T-KITs (Training Kits) are the effect of partnership between the Council of Europe and the European Commission. Simply, these are a series of publications relating to different, practical aspects of working with youth. The National Agency of the YOUTH Programme has adopted and published Polish editions of all T-KITs available. The latest one “Under Construction… Citizenship, Youth and Europe” is an attempt to change the generally negative attitude of youth towards politics and motivate them to get involved in the matters of their own country and Europe as well. The debate that will take place on the 14th of May 2005 will relate to the strategies suggested in this T-Kit. It will also be an opportunity to confront practitioners’ views, opinions and experiences regarding youth participation in the civil society.
