“Youth Power, Big Impact 4 All”

This event is an open debate for young residents, focused on developing practical strategies to increase youth participation in community life and on how to effectively implement the results of their previous project. Participants will work together to identify ways to raise young people’s awareness of local democratic processes and strengthen their ability to influence municipal decision-making.
During the debate, the young participants will aim to:
identify the main obstacles that prevent young people from engaging in local public affairs;
propose concrete actions that can improve young people’s understanding of how local democracy works;
define communication tools and channels that help youth express their needs and reach local decision‑makers more effectively;
develop ideas for cooperation with local authorities, enabling young people to gain real influence over decisions that affect their community;
discuss how to implement the outcomes of their previous project in a sustainable and impactful way.
The debate will serve as a space for exchanging experiences and jointly searching for solutions that empower young residents to become active contributors to local community development. The participants will focus on transforming earlier project results into long‑term mechanisms for youth participation, ensuring that young people’s voices are heard, respected, and reflected in real decisions.
