Description
Being a young person who just starts to know all the norms and regulations, who is not yet familiar with the decision- making process in his/her country, it is easy to get confused on the roadmap “how can I be an active inhabitant of my district”. Research that has been made shows that there are opportunities to get involved, but youngsters do not use them. Why? That’s what we want to find out and change.
“Give a Way to Youth!” is a complex project that includes 11 interconnected activities that will be made with the aim to improve youth opportunities to influence decision-making processes in rural areas of Latvia, so they could feel more confident about their ability to initiate changes and feel that they belong to Latvia. Several project activities directly involve youngsters but the main task of the project is to follow the process of youth participation, to analyze it, in order to improve youth policy in the regions of Latvia.
We want that all the paths to active participation in the decision-making process in rural areas become more visible and smoother for young people, so their experience from this participation could make them satisfied and they would like to make more project initiatives in the future.
The partner plays an important role in the project:
- Ensure capacity building (in the form of training);
- Will also act as mentors for the youth groups involved;
– The information campaign will also reflect the experience of the partner.
