Description
The project aspires to improve inclusion and meaningful participation of youth in socio-political and economic life and responds to key objectives of the Call: “empowering vulnerable groups” and “enhancing capacity and sustainability of civil society”. Implementation is conducted in 7 phases: 1. An online campaign will run on Pusula/Ππούσουλας inviting youth across the island to share their ideas on: How to overcome socio-political and economic obstacles inhibiting them from being active citizens , interventions/actions, which if adopted, could contribute towards addressing these obstacles. 2. The top 50 most supported ideas will be transferred to Idea Prism App through which their authors will be supported to turn their ideas into S.M.A.R.T.er proposals (Specific, Measurable, Assignable, Relevant, Time-bounded). 3. The general public will be invited to evaluate ideas for Impact, Feasibility, and Probability of happening without intervention. 4. The authors of the top proposals will be invited to participate in a face-to-face event based on a Structured Democratic Dialogue Process (SDDP) to structure their proposals into an Influence Map. The event will be broadcasted live on social media to allow the general public to ask questions or post comments. 5. The project will integrate the results produce an effective action-road-map, widely disseminated to generate public awareness and mobilize youth action. F2F and online meetings will be organized to discuss how to take concrete steps towards the implementation of the action-road-map and identify the relevant policy makers for its implementation. 6. Mentorship and life-skills trainings will support those interested in taking the lead to lobby towards implementation of the action-road-map. 7. All contributors and the wider public will be invited to evaluate the Project’s activities. The survey results and project deliverables will be consolidated into a Policy Recommendation Report.
