Young People - From Exclusion to Inclusion

closed

The Young People from exclusion to inclusion network was one of the first financed by the URBACT programme. It aimed to address some of the issues surrounding young people in European cities, in particular young people of school age. The network focussed on the school as part of the community and the role of parents in the social inclusion process. The network held a serie of exchange meetings to share best practice and discuss with researchers. There were 2 conferences which had wider participation. The strategic objectives of the network are outlined below: 1. To inform each other about examples of good practice on how to change young peoples situation from exclusion to inclusion 2. To learn and capitalise from each others examples 3. To develop a strategy for how to change young people’s situation from exclusion to inclusion Each partner was responsible for selecting a number of examples relevant to the theme. This was carried out by setting up a local working group within each city partner and writing a local report. The learning and capitalisation from this led to the development of the 5 success criteria outlined within the network final report.
