How can we effectively involve young people in decision-making about the cities they live in? How can we spark their interest in public spaces and show them that their voices truly matter? What motivates them to participate actively? And how can youth participation be integrated into education? This international conference on youth participation will bring together expert perspectives, inspiring real-world examples, and opportunities for experience sharing. You will also learn about the MyHood project, which connects young people with the creation of sustainable and greener cities, with a strong focus on climate change.
