“Participatory Europe” in Hungary

Project Summary

A training course that takes youth workers on a journey through politics, policies, decision- making and advocacy in order to bring young people closer to the democratic institutions and to have their say on the matter by exploring the implications and specifics of citizenship and participation, up to how to create and draft a policy.

The aim of the project is to increase the awareness of youth workers and young people and equip them with tools to construct an enabling environment for youth workers and youth organizations to take part in political decision-making and problem-solving processes.
