ADV-ENT-ure: Joint venture for ENTER ADVocacy
ADV-ENT-ure:Joint venture for ENTER ADVocacy is a study session that aims to increase the capacities of youth councils to improve: access on social rights of young people and the implementation of the Recommendation CM/REC(2015)3
In January 2015, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe adopted the Recommendation CM/REC (2015)3 - Access of young people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods to social rights based on the approaches and proposals of the ENTER! Project. The Recommendation focuses on different areas and they promote the access of young people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods to social rights. Youth Social Rights Network and Youth Express Network have been involved in the ENTER! Project since its origin, both working at local and European levels on social inclusion and access to social rights of young people. Having this in mind and also believing that together we can make bigger impact than the one we can do acting on our own, we joined the forces of our 2 networks in promoting the Recommendation as a tool for social inclusion and equip young people with knowledge, skills and meaningful attitude to promote and use them in their communities.
With this activity, we want to reach out youth councils - target groups that in our belief are one of the key players in advocating for implementation of the Recommendation, working at local or national level closely with (or even directly inside) local authorities and representing young people and youth organisations.
The aim of this study session is to increase the capacities of youth councils to improve: access on social rights of young people and the implementation of the Recommendation CM/REC(2015)3 .
Objectives:
- To deepen their knowledge and understanding of social rights and map ways of addressing social rights challenges in different realities;
- To introduce Recommendation to youth councils;
- To map what is already being done, what needs to be improved, what needs to be started in relation to Recommendation in different realities;
- To increase competences for advocating and draft plans and tools for improvement of access to social rights and implementation of the CM/REC (2015)3 Recommendation at local level.
