Megan Atkinson “Space & Participation for All”

Runner up

Clare Youth Action as part of North West Clare Family Resource Centre present ‘Let Us Speak’

We made a call out to young people and youth organisations to create a photograph or a film that portrays their experience of youth participation. This film was then included in our Youth Voices – EU Youth Dialogue consultation report.

The current Cycle of EU Youth Dialogue is exploring “Space and participation for all” with young people across all EU countries. The National Youth Council of Ireland are rolling out the conversations in Ireland and as always we place a high value on the contributions of a wide and diverse cohort of young people. It is vitally important for us that what is captured in this consultation gives us a real picture of young people’s lived experience and a real sense of how they view the world.

Who

We invite you as a young person between 15-30 or as a youth worker/leader to support your young people to engage with this process by creating a photograph or a 1-3min film under the theme of “Space and Participation for all”.

How

Submit the film and/or photo using form below and attach media consent forms for each young person engaged in the project.

Content

We want young people to get across their views on participation for all, some questions that might be addressed are the following:

  • How are young people represented in decision-making processes that affect them? what they like or what they might change?
  • Recommendations on how to include young people in all parts of the decision making-processes.
  • How would you ensure equal access to everyday decision making for all young people from different backgrounds?
  • What they think the best approach is to deliver info and opportunities for youth participation?
  • How can virtual tools and spaces be used to increase young people’s participation?
  • What kind of physical facilities and infra- structures should be available to young people to participate and what actions should be taken to ensure that they are autonomous, open, safe and accessible?
  • Any further thoughts and insights they have about the “Space and participation for all” EU Youth Cycle.

Supports we will provide to youth workers to deliver this project

  • NYCI will share resources on www.youth.ie/youngvoices on the consultation, participatory visual methodologies, and other ways of engaging in the Young Voices – EU Youth Dialogue process.
