Report
This e-booklet consists of key information about youth participation in- and knowledge of political and civic processes and methods on how to increase these two aspects.
1) inform about biggest youth concerns, to which politicians should pay more attention; 2) propose ideas that could promote European Youth Week; 3) introduce initiatives aimed to boost youth participation, representation and engagement in politics, society and the labour market.
This e-booklet is a product of a meeting between young people and youth policy makers “Time to Act!”, which took place in May, 2015 in Kaunas, Lithuania and was financed by the European Commission’s Erasmus+ programme. The project was started because European societies today face huge issues of youth absenteeism both in public life and politics. As a result of it, democratic values and principles are weakened, which in itself is an alarming trend. One of the ways to tackle these problems is via viable initiatives and/or youth policy reform.
Being a part of European Youth Week (EYW) the project had its goals aligned to those of EYW’15: to enhance youth participation in politics and beyond across Europe. Hence, a number of initiatives to help youth get involved were developed throughout the meeting and we have put them all together to this e-booklet. We aim to promote them by introducing this e-booklet to young people, youth policy makers, youth workers and other relevant parties. It consists of key information about youth participation in- and knowledge of political and civic processes and methods on how to increase these two aspects.
