The Orange Magazine team will cover the Symposium ‘(Un)Equal Europe? Responses from the youth sector’, which will be held on 30 May – 2 June 2016 in Budapest, Hungary.
The Symposium, organised by the EU-CoE Youth Partnership, will explore the range of inequalities young people experience today in Europe and develop solutions through dialogue between practitioners, researchers and policy-makers. Participants will analyse the personal experiences of structural and contextual barriers to inclusion the youth faces today in Europe, and will develop rights-based approaches to inclusion and social justice building, looking at at good practices across Europe, where young people have mobilised, engaged with the democratic process and have generated change.
The Symposium will gather up to 100 participants with these objectives:
- To discuss and disseminate knowledge on inequalities, in particular in the areas of participation and social inclusion of young people in Europe and beyond;
- To share good practice in youth work and youth policy relevant to the key questions of the Symposium;
- To identify challenges and research gaps, draw conclusions and formulate recommendations, as well as to propose models of youth policy and youth work interventions;
- To support knowledge-based youth policy and practice for fighting against inequalities through networking, dialogue, and peer learning;
- To connect youth, policy-makers, practitioners and researchers.
