Study Session “Local Youth Councils as Advocates for Democracy” Training Course 23-29 November 2025 | European Youth Centre Strasbourg, France Fransa Strasbourg Erasmus+ Eğitim Kursu
The activity aims to contribute to the quality development of participatory youth structures by building the capacity of members of local youth councils (LYCs) and similar bodies across Europe. The role of LYCs in shaping youth-based policies, promoting democracy and youth rights, and fostering intergenerational dialogue is increasingly recognised.
This study session will gather 20 young people involved in local youth councils and youth policy advocacy to engage in a programme based on the principles of non-formal education, intercultural learning, and participatory methods. The programme will combine theoretical and practical elements, giving space for exchange, co-creation, and mutual learning.
