Publisher: Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
This paper is intended to be used by youth practitioners from international organisations, public institutions and the youth sector within the OSCE region and beyond. It includes an overview of existing practices and good practice examples, based on the experience of youth practitioners who contributed to the roundtable discussions and key informant interviews. The paper also calls for continued peer learning and support among practitioners and youth activists from different sectors. So much is being done in the youth field, but practitioners too often work in isolation. The OSCE roundtable events upon which this paper is framed sought to bring people together and inspire a community of good practice around youth engagement.
