How to engage young people in shaping youth policies at local level via innovative ICT tools? This is the challenging objective of the forward looking project YouthMetre, funded by the Erasmus+ programme.

YouthMetre will be an innovative approach to close the gap between youth and local institutions by collecting the perceived needs of youth in key policy areas and providing guidelines to public institutions that help address them.

The partners reunited in Berlin on 28-29 January to plan the implementation process of the project. Aldo Xhani, Coordinator of the Citizenship programme, brought in ALDA’s expertise in promoting community approaches in policy making at local level. The event was an occasion, in particular, to revise and plan deliverables and milestones and define key components such as communication/dissemination and monitoring/evaluation.

The project, expected to finish in December 2017, will be a key instrument of ALDA’s Youth strategy. The priority of our action is to provide adequate knowledge, competences and skills to young people in order to train them for the labour market and to increase their possibilities to find a good job; raise youngsters’ awareness about local and global issues as well as stimulate their civic participation and social engagement through the promotion of activism and volunteering.
