Youth participation paths: which way? BePart Final Conference


BePart project consortium is pleased to invite you to join the final conference, entitled "Youth participation paths: Which way?, on 9th of November 2022, from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm.
 
BePart is a 3-year project that aimed to develop, implement and evaluate an innovative participatory youth approach to be implemented in regular schools, fostering inclusive education while promoting citizenship competences and youth empowerment. The innovative participatory youth approach that was designed in the BePart project relied on the youth-led development concept, which places the youth at the center of their own change, development and growth.
 
This final conference will count with the participation of the project partners and participants from Portugal, Spain, Greece and Latvia who will present the activities they develop during 3 years, in a project that challenged students from 13 to 15 years old from disadvantaged backgrounds to take part of the process of decision-making of their schools and, by this way, acquire and/or develop their civic competencies, empowerment and, ultimately, their social inclusion.
 
The event will be held in English language and is targeted at schools, students, teachers, policy makers in Education, Training and Youth, teachers’ training providers and non-governmental organizations.
