Children and Youth Network – How to Involve Children and Youth in Your Work: How to Support Youth to Develop their Personal Leadership
The Children and Youth Network will host the fourth module of its peer-learning journey on “How to Involve Children and Youth in Your Work” exploring “How to Support Youth to Develop their Personal Leadership” online on 9 October.
This online module will explore the comprehensive approach of Boost for Talent, a programme set up by the King Baudouin Foundation which operates in nine cities and accompanies 900 students across Belgium. Boost supports talented and determined students with the ambition to maximise their chances of success in higher education and in entering the labour market. The programme emphasises both academic success and personal development, providing opportunities for self-discovery through activities like thematic workshops, inspirational meetings, and language courses.
This module will cover the diversity of methods utilised to work with young people and embed the power of youth voice.
The peer-learning journey “How to Involve Children and Youth in Your Work” is a series of online webinars organised by Philea’s Children and Youth Network to take place throughout 2024. The aim is to advance youth inclusion in the work of foundations by providing concrete pathways and tools to implement. Following each module, foundations that are willing to transform their way of working with young people can benefit from input from organisations with specific expertise on a given topic.
This is a series of modules, with the first module covering Youth Advisory Boards in February, the second module on participation methods in April and the third on conducting research with young people in June. Module 5 will take place in November.
