Children and Youth Network – How to Cede Power to Youth: The Birth of the Siena Youth Council
The Children and Youth Network will host “How to Cede Power to Youth: The Birth of the Siena Youth Council” online on 8 May, the next module of the peer-learning journey on “How to Involve Children and Youth in Your Work”.
This online module explores the challenges and opportunities of youth engagement, focusing on the process of establishing a structured platform for young voices in decision-making. It delves into the key issues that drive the need for youth councils, such as civic participation, representation, and intergenerational dialogue.
Through practical examples and real-world insights, the session will examine effective strategies for fostering youth involvement, overcoming barriers to participation, and creating sustainable mechanisms that empower younger generations. Drawing from the experience of Siena’s Youth Council, the module provides a roadmap for communities looking to amplify youth voices and integrate them into meaningful decision-making processes.
