Youth Corridor for Participatory Democracy
Workshop | 26 August
The "Youth Corridor for Participatory Democracy" conference, organized by the Ankara City Council Capital Youth Council, with the participation of stakeholders such as the European Youth Forum, Ankara City Council, and the Union of Turkish City Councils, aims to create a space within the ecosystem where young people live to empower youth in all aspects of life.
As part of the event, policy participation tools and decision-making mechanisms will be developed in collaboration with local governments in the cities where young people live. The corridor that local government will establish with young people to develop innovative and creative policies will not only increase participation but also contribute to the growth of local government. In this context, youth councils working to promote participatory democracy in different regions of Turkey will come together to organize workshops where they can find the tools for participatory mechanisms.
Through this workshop, local decision-makers will have access to a "youth policy and local action plan for youth cooperation module." Since the program aims to increase the effectiveness and potential of municipal youth councils in local decision-making processes, it targets representatives from 56 active youth councils in Turkey.
