Output 3.3: 5 Action Plans created and implemented

The Action plans will be a result of the Action groups’ work, which will be generated on the final day of each co-Laboratory. The participants of the action groups will co-create action plans, which will serve as guidelines for advocate actions. The number of proposals that have high influence on the MAP will determine the number of the action groups and action plans per region. Depending on interest participants may decide which proposals they would like to join. During the event, selected participants will be trained to act as multipliers to support and maintain the ideas of their respective groups. It is important to note that these action groups are the primary force of the envisioned results because the actions will come from the participants themselves and they will be the multipliers of the effectiveness to enhance coherence on a regional and global level.

Concrete results expected / Monitoring: Each action group will create an action plan, which will offer the guidelines for action with the ultimate goal to increase youth participation in democratic processes. The trained participants will monitor the actions of the group and with the support of the project partners will implement the foreseen actions. FWC will take part of the reporting from the regional partners to conclude the over-all result. The process will be supported by the regional webinars on participatory democracy.

Follow-up Actions: Participants will be encouraged and supported to build on their actions and update their plans. The results of their work could also contribute on the content of the e-books. The action groups will be supported by the implementing partners and the lead applicant in disseminating these actions to the respective authorities. One individual, chosen by each respective group, will assume the responsibility to coordinate communications. This individual will receive a small grant.
