Join New Power in Youth Partnership in Mapping Cross-Sectoral Youth Participation Practices

The survey is part of a new mapping activity aimed at identifying inspiring practices of youth participation in democratic life through cross-sectoral cooperation. It is open until 4 October 2024.

The mapping is launched under the umbrella of “New Power in Youth” (NPiY), a strategic partnership between several National Agencies for Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps and SALTO Resource Centres.

The main aim of the activity is to identify and analyse inspiring practices of youth participation in democratic life through cross-sectoral cooperation.

The practices are collected through a survey form until the beginning of October and the results of the analysis are planned to be announced at the Participation Forum in November 2024 followed by a publication and an article featured on the Participation Resource Pool.

The mapping specifically focuses on the practices/projects that:

• have been done in collaboration between the non-formal Youth sector and one (or more) of the four formal education sectors: School Education, Higher Education, Adult Education, and Vocational Education.
• have as target groups either young people or professionals working with young people (eg. capacity-building opportunities for teachers/educators and youth workers to foster youth participation in democratic life).
• stimulate and promote youth participation in democratic life, addressing the way young people behave and interact with democracy.
• feature inspiring methods such as experiential learning methods, also referred to as non-formal or alternative educational methods.
• have the potential to be replicated with necessary alterations.

Those who are interested can find more details in the Guidelines and present their project/practice by filling out the survey form by 4 October 2024.

For questions, please do not hesitate to ask the youth participation expert in charge of the survey, Aleksandra Mangus, at [email protected].
