ABOUT THE PROJECT

CASCAIS EYC2018 in cooperation with DYPALL NETWORK is organizing the International Conference “Youth Work at Municipality Level” in Cascais (European Youth Capital 2018), focusing on the theme of “Creating Sustainable Youth Policies at Local Level” – youth policies and youth work at Municipality Level, with a specific focus on inclusion (NEETs, migrants, youth at risk and marginalized youth). The International Conference comes in the follow up of several European guidelines that have been recently established highlighting the importance to mainstream youth at local and regional level that have identified the need to tackle these issues at grassroots.

 

 

OBJECTIVES:
  • To develop the capacity of Local Authorities (LA) and Civil Society Organizations (CSO) and their youth workers to work together on the field of youth public policy to provide answers to the challenges of participation, inclusion, unemployment;
  • To identify and promote good practices and mechanisms for youth participation in decision-making and debate about their potential and challenges on public governance
  • To share practices of inclusion and engagement of young people at local level
  • To develop more inclusive approaches to foster participation of young people with fewer opportunities into spaces such as local youth councils and youth fora
  • To allow youth CSO and LA to share their best practices in terms of cooperation between local authorities and civil society, with a specific focus on how to target NEET youth, young migrants and other marginalized youth
