# All contributors and the wider public will be invited to evaluate the Project’s activities. The survey results and project deliverables will be consolidated into a Policy Recommendation Report and disseminated to identified target groups.

==Objective==

The overall objective of CAN-CY is to improve inclusion and meaningful participation of youth (18-30 age group) in socio-political and economic life. It will contribute to the selected Outcome 2 of the Programme “Vulnerable groups empowered” based on the following Theory of Change:

The process will be widely promoted through the project’s first-wave communication campaign. During the Ideation, everyone will be invited to “support” (similar to Facebook’s ‘like’ functionality) ideas they like on Pusula/Ππούσουλας. While at it, the idea authors (i.e. ideators) will also be able to share their ideas on social media and ask their networks for ‘support’.  

At the end of the 3-month period, the 50 most supported ideas on Pusula/Ππούσουλας will be imported to the  Idea Prism mobile App. To achieve this, the project team will develop an API (Application Program Interface), which will use the XML standard to enable communication between the two platforms. Since XML is a global communication standard, the API development will facilitate collaborations between the two platforms, but also between each respective platform and any other digital tool.

Idea Prism’s additional functionalities will allow the authors of the 50 most supported ideas to provide additional clarifications and add a short video to pitch the significance of their ideas. While at it, the authors will be encouraged to identify the specific obstacle their idea aims to address, why they think this obstacle is important, how their idea will address the obstacle, what the proposed solution entails (i.e. who should be engaged, how much it costs, when it should be done, etc.). Overall, this will allow the authors to turn their ideas into actionable and S.M.A.R.T.er proposals (Specific, Measurable, Assignable, Relevant, Time-bounded).

===Activity 3.4 Post-project evaluation and policy recommendations===

All stakeholders who participated in project activities (e.g. the ideators, CSOs representatives, volunteers and mentorship and life-kills trainings participants, etc.) and the general public will be invited to participate in an online survey promoted through a sixth-wave of communications campaign (on Facebook and via email) to evaluate the Project’s activities. The project team will consolidate the survey results and project deliverables into policy recommendation package and disseminate to all project end- and intermediate beneficiaries.
