The APEL – Active Youth Participation through Empowered Leadership project is coming to an end and it’s time to share the results.
Within two years, through focus groups and pilot activities with youth workers, we created a set of YOCO coaching cards and a manual for training youth workers. These innovative tools can support youth workers in delivering youth leadership empowerment trainings, thereby improving their leadership skills to represent the youth voice and assert the youth perspective in policy dialogue. The tools offer flexible use for different types of training and coaching opportunities, thus providing support in youth empowerment work. The consortium’s work culminated in the creation of APEL Dialogue policy recommendations, which aim to help policymakers strengthen dialogue with youth leaders.
