SAYouth project
The SAYouth project promotes young people's participation in decision-making and opportunities to influence. The goals of the project are:
- increasing the dialogue between young people and the authorities from the local level to the European level
- develop dialogue and its channels and methods of operation
- to increase knowledge of democratic systems at local and European level
- promote active participation in civil society and voluntary work
The project's goals are reached with the help of international meetings and study tours. Young people and/or people working with young people are included in these trips.
