Last week, Youth Power was part of 5-day online training course „LTA“ within „Young service designers“ project which consisted of building and developing skills in service design and youth activation through service design. Training course was led by Joshua Harvey, a social innovation and strategic design professional with huge experience working with INGOs.
The training course explored all stages of service design and enhanced the skills of the youth workers. Youth workers will experiment new methods and acquire knowledge and skills to attract the interest of youngsters in active citizenship and to stimulate their desire in proposing solutions for tackling local challenges.
The main objectives of this projects are:
- Boost hyperlocal structures for tackling local specific challenges, putting the youth at the centre of the renewal of their cities.
- Engage – connect – empower young people to play a more active role in their local community.
- Engage young people as co-designers and doers of pilot actions for tailoring public services.
- Strengthen authentic democratic activities in 6 cities.
- Include disadvantaged groups.
- Build a sustainable and green Europe.
With this project we want to inspire youngsters to propose sustainable and innovative solutions for their cities, with the support of the local administrations and youth workers.
