Call for Partners in CERV-2025-CHILD

In CHILD25, we would like to focus on:

Participatory Budgeting in Schools: Implementing participatory budgeting as an educational tool to enhance youth engagement, allowing students to have a direct say in resource allocation and decision-making processes.

Youth Councils: Strengthening the role of youth councils as representative bodies that advocate for young people’s interests, ensuring they are recognized as key stakeholders in local policy development.

Supporting Youth Workers: Providing youth workers with the necessary tools and resources to mentor and support young people effectively, ensuring they are well-equipped to guide youth in active civic participation.

In CHILD25, we aim to foster inclusive spaces for youth involvement, preventing disenfranchisement and ensuring that young people feel empowered to contribute to their communities. Their active participation not only strengthens local governance but also nurtures a culture of civic responsibility and long-term resilience.
