The Key ideas of MY GENERATION

Summary

Introduction

MY GENERATION is about promoting the potential of the young in cities.

MY GENERATION does this by:

  1. Developing new insights into the youth lifestyles and aspirations of the young
  2. Fostering genuine youth involvement throughout the project
  3. Providing positive activity and career alternatives
  4. Promoting boundary crossing collaboration of various actors and services, particularly local communities, education, business and public officials
  5. Developing and disseminating good practices of engagement and contact
  6. Underpinning the above with effective and relevant local action plans and strategies

The young themselves are at the core, and the contacts to, and between local communities, education and employment will provide opportunities and resources for positive solutions.
