To promote the fundamental social and democratic value of youth spaces, together with our Swedish partner Malmö Ideella we organised an inspiring interactive workshop for young people aged 16 to 20, giving them the floor to dream, learn and design their ideal youth environments.

The workshop was grounded in the recommendations and core vision of the European Charter on Youth Spaces, which we promote all over Europe. Taking on the role of space creators, the participants worked on essential pillars such as:

• purpose and vision: defining the core mission, the values and the target groups of inclusive spaces;
• management and visibility: brainstorming practical organisational structures, co governance models and outreach strategies to ensure a long term impact on the community.

The workshop ended with a dynamic sharing session, in which the participants presented their designs to one another. This sparked meaningful discussions on youth influence, social inclusion, quality leisure time and local development, and left the young participants inspired and ready to drive future civic action in their communities.

Strengthening equality, rights and active citizenship across Europe is at the heart of our work, in the framework of the CERV programme, which stands for Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values. By giving young people the tools and the platforms to co design inclusive spaces and to influence decision making, our network continues to champion youth participation, democracy and community growth.
