Youth Participation
July 4, 2007 - 07:02 AM

With energy, ambition and belief in their own capabilities, young people can be powerful agents of positive change. Including young people in issues that directly affect them contributes to their self-confidence, allows them to exercise a fundamental human right and leads to better decisions. Inclusion can help prepare young people to exercise the rights and responsibilities of adulthood and citizenship. Youth participation is also essential to the development of successful programming.

Participation in social groups also fosters a feeling of connectedness and belonging, helping young people to develop a sense of identity. Collaboration with peers and with adults who share some of their views fortifies their ideas and values. And the experience of contributing—to a cause, a decision, a group—can be crucial part to the development of a sense of responsibility, purpose and self-worth
