Citizenship: The Role of Youth, Participatory Budgeting & Democracy

On the occasion of the continuation of the conference on the future of Europe, a response to overcome the crisis that occurred during the pandemic is being explored, which should be the result of the participatory action of the various social partners, civil society and the decision-making bodies of a given state.

The search for an appropriate response to overcome the crisis that emerged during the pandemic should result from the participatory engagement of the various social partners, civil society and state decision-makers.

The presentation “Citizenship: The Role of Youth, Democratic Participation, Participatory Budgeting & Processes” is organized to start a dialogue on democratic citizen participation in the electoral process and other structural processes of society at the local and national levels. The participation of people from different social groups and with various roles will help us to get an overall picture of the situation and conclude how it is affected in a crisis like the pandemic.

For this purpose, the material developed to inform and engage educators and employees with youth will be presented to provide them with more targeted information on the approach we propose through the project and the platform with which young people can implement the participatory budgeting methodology through electronic means. The platform will enable young people to actively participate by submitting their ideas and joining teams to train and develop their ideas as a project through the participatory budget.

The event is organised by Institute for Entrepreneurship Development, in the framework of the CERV and Erasmus+ programmes of the European Union. Learn more about the objectives of YUPAD and HEARD projects.

Upon completion of the presentation, a certificate of attendance will be given to all participants.
