The forum's main objective is to finalise drafting policy recommendations by the young people on the topics
chosen by them. The forum seeks to bring together young people and youth workers to work together on a set of policy recommendations that will be presented to local and European decision-makers. The recommendations will be related to:
  • mental health,
  • inclusion,
  • participation,
  • sustainability and
  • non-formal learning.

During the forum, participants will also have time to present their ADVOCACY CAMPAINS which you have created during the Youth Seminar in Lorca and then presented to local stakeholders. We will want to hear, what have you discussed with them and what was their feedback on your campain.

Here you divide in 2 groups:
  1. GROUP: Who participated in Lorca's Youth Seminar. Go over your campain. Remember what the stakeholders you presented it to said. Create a short sum up. It can be either a presentation/poster, elevator pitch or any other form you choose. You can work individually or in your group.
  2. GROUP: Who are new to the initiative. Go over the provided material. Get acquainted with the steps of advocacy. Think of a issue (within the 5 topics we will discuss in the Youth Forum) and filled out the first 5 steps from the handout (defining the problem (ISSUE), setting a goal (GOAL), defining the policy makers you need to adress (TARGET AUDIENCE), creating an efficient message (MESSAGE DEVELOPMENT). When answering you can create a presentation/poster, elevator pitch or any other form you choose. You can work individually or in your group.
