Youth Capacity Project in Murcia. The meeting was held via videoconference and dealt with how to develop key skills to help the younger population participate in civil society.
The project will support youth policy makers to develop key skills in order to reach more young people in their areas of government and help them participate in civil society and express their views on their future. The project will develop partnerships between local and regional authorities.
This third meeting, preceded by those already held in Italy (February 2019) and Murcia (November 2019), has allowed for the exchange of information about the project presented by this Federation of Municipalities for the integration of young people in social life and in the training of skills to be developed for integration into the labour market.
The Youth Capacity project will also support the development of the capacities of workers in the youth departments of these organisations, training them in social skills that will help them to better carry out their work with young people.
Youth policy makers will also learn about methods to reach out to marginalised young people and prevent racism and intolerance through training on the “No hate speech” movement.
The project will support young people's participation in democratic life and help them connect with policy makers and express their opinion on issues concerning their lives and future. The project will also promote youth volunteering within the framework of the European Youth Service, so that as many organisations as possible are certified as host and sending organisations and will promote participation in voluntary activities.
