How can we effectively involve young people in decision-making about the cities they live in?
How can we spark their interest in public spaces and show them that their voices truly matter? What motivates them to participate actively? How can we integrate youth participation into education? This international conference on youth participation will bring expert perspectives, inspiring real-life examples, and opportunities for experience sharing. You will also learn about the MyHood educational project, which connects young people with the creation of sustainable and greener cities, with a focus on climate change.
