In order to increase the participation and inclusion of young citizens, we first need to understand why it is important. At this point the children are best at telling us about it, so we let them speak for themselves.
In order to put the idea into practice we need to understand in what kind of matters could children and young people be more involved in. In the workshop we will show examples of development projects with children and young. Together, we raise issues where children and young people could be involved in the participants’ own areas and living labs (co-working session one).
After finding out in what kind of matters we could include the children and young more, we need to understand how the young and the children could be involved. In order to gather understanding on this issue we will ideate solutions together to the matters found and listed in the first co-working session.
In third co-working session we will discuss about matters to consider when working with children and youth.
In the end of the workshop we will leave the participants some time to also discuss and evaluate on how the ideas could be put into practice.
