Guidelines For Youth Participation in Youth Policy Processes

Document has resulted from international seminar on ‘’Youth participation in youth policy processes in South Eastern Europe’’, held in Montenegro from 13th till 20th June,2008. It is comprised of concrete recommendations for enhancing youth participation, taking into account all relevant stakeholders in the processes. It is of high importance to have in mind that this process, as any other, demands partnership of all the stakeholders in implementing structured and long term interventions in the field. One of the crucial preconditions to the process is positioning youth on the top of each society’s priority list. Only by perceiving young people as important social group, as a valuable resource and not a problem, we can ensure quality and sustainable youth policies and their implementation.
