Youth Social Act

The Youth Social Act project promotes alternative forms of active social and civic youth participation in democratic life. The project aims to promote alternative forms of active social and civic youth participation in democratic life, at local level, by supporting youth initiatives co-designed, co-created and implemented by young people for young people. The six main priorities include youth diversity, equality, equity and inclusion, involvement in decision-making processes, youth social inclusion and integration, sustainable green societies and youth, healthy youth lifestyles, as well as cultural and creative youth diverse expressions.

The main objective is to provide opportunities for training, learning and education, as well as networking with peers and exchanging ideas and views on the issues during the transnational training. Our aim is to successfully set-up and operate local Youth Ambassadors Programmes for young people and youth workers/volunteers, providing specific practical non-formal educational and learning opportunities and tools. Lastly, Youth Social Act aims to share and transfer good practices, expertise, know-how and knowledge on social and civic youth participation.
