Bridging Youth and Regional Development Through Dialogue

Closed

The project wants to engage young people to community development by communication and information sharing. The project aims to give a voice to younger generation, but also prepare them. Using dialogue as methodology for bridging youth and regional development experts, project aims to raise awareness on urgent issues in Aurora Region, such as climate change, green transition and its impacts, demographic changes and indigenous people and traditional livelihoods. The project offers a platform for young people to practice dialogue skills, expand networks locally and transnationally, and to build a common ground for new initiatives. Based on lessons learnt from project activities, including participation in High North Dialogue school, participants in the project will jointly create written recommendations on further development of dialogue methodologies to bring local development experts and young people closer. The project will contribute to resilience of the Interreg Aurora Programme area by empowering young people for new initiatives for community development and at the same time empowering regional development experts to provide young people support within existing resources and available expertise. International collaboration will strengthen the capacity among organizations, build cohesion and help to address common challenges and local needs.
