YOU(TH) IN THE CENTER Structuring the Dialogue
Our ideas for @ local level ● Whats is the problem now? In Greece there aren’t many structures for young people, especially in small cities. This kind of structures can be cultural centres, small youth centres and public offices, obviously for the youngsters. The absence of these structures is a serious problem, because young people cannot share their ideas or make them known in the community and especially in the authority of the municipality. ● What do we propose? Small structures for youth must be created, so as to connect immediately the policy makers with them. ● What are the expected outcomes? We expect that if our proposal comes true, young people will have the opportunity not only to be essentially active members in their local society, but also their views will be heard.
