Course Description

‘Youth voice’ and ‘youth participation’ has been a growing movement in a number of sectors for a long time. But the phrase ‘youth engagement’ is often overused and misunderstood. Effective youth engagement is one of the most critical priorities for organisations working with young people. With everyone keen to ‘do it,’ many are considering how to ensure youth engagement practices are valuable across their organisation. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child applies to all young people aged 17 and under. Adopted by the UN in 1989, it gives children and young people a set of comprehensive civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. It includes specific rights to guarantee children’s participation in all matters affecting them - youth participation principles.
