In November, we took part in the Erasmus+ Training Course “TC Diving into… Youth Participation”, organised by @somoslaotra_ in Pinos Genil, Spain, which was focused on strengthening meaningful youth participation in projects and initiatives across Europe.
🇪🇺 A key focus was Erasmus+ Key Action 154 Youth Participation Activities, which supports local, national, and international projects that encourage young people’s active involvement in democratic life. Youth participation and active citizenship are central priorities of the European Youth Strategy and youth policies across Europe.
✨This was the first Erasmus+ project we partnered in, together with youth workers and leaders coming from 🇪🇸 🇳🇱 🇫🇮 🇩🇰 🇺🇦 🇮🇹 🇬🇷 🇹🇷 🇧🇬 🇧🇪 🇭🇺 🇪🇪 🇱🇻 🇩🇪 🇷🇸 , exploring Erasmus+ KA154-Youth Participation Activities and young people’s role in democratic life.
👉 Following the training, our member Geri implemented the “Go Competent” game (based on the 8 Key Competences in the Youthpass) with 30 youths during the youth exchange “Think before you Bet: Gambling Prevention and Responsible Play” which project was organized by @necieu NECI Cyprus.
💬 Youth participation starts when young people are given real space to learn, reflect, and act.
