Project Summary

CHALLENGE TO CHANGE is a project that aims to bring together eight countries (Bosnia, Macedonia, Serbia, Romania, Italy, Turkey, Croatia and MOntenegro) coming from South East Europe to investigate the issues related to implementation, evaluation and monitoring of youth policy within international youth work as well as inclusion of youth in decision making process. Within the sphere of international youth work youth organization from one side needs to have clear picture about youth policy development in partner countries and on the another side make steps to improve current situation in a field and to include youth in decision making process that is related to them.
This project will gather different youth workers around a shared challenge, in order to create partnerships, discuss good practices, transfer innovation and transform the learning outcomes into tools of practical application. In this sense, it is expected that the learning outcomes of this project can be applied in the respective communities of each participant, through the role that their organization plays in supporting implementation of youth policy and including youth in decision making process. Participants will finish the training with a clear definition on what challenges we are facing in development of youth policy. Participants will leave with a clear understanding on importance of their influence on decision makers and creation of youth policies in their local and national communities.
Establishing partnership among participating organizations youth workers and youngsters will have possibility to share their experience in work and to make common strategy of work that will ensure to follow implementation of youth policy more easier. Youngsters will gain new competences in decision making process that will help them to present their ideas in front of a large auditory. The activities and the methods used in the project activties will be formal and non-formal: ice-breakers, workshops, interactive presentations, seminars and role play games.
