Youth Participation and Global Citizenship: Challenges and Recommendations for Future Youth School Forums

The overall purpose of this report is to identify the needs of the Future School Youth Forums on youth participation and global citizenship education. The study synthesizes information from Cyprus, Italy, Lithuania, Poland and the United Kingdom in order to understand similarities and differences, and compare them with wider European trends to understand transversal needs across Europe. It discusses in greater detail the current application of global citizenship youth forums and global citizenship/youth participation in each of the 5 countries – and therefore across 7 national systems (as Wales and Scotland have their own systems), and also transversally across Europe. The report will help Partners to better understand the project’s needs, so that they can design project outputs more effectively.
