Inception: The Euro-Atlantic Integration School
Trollhättan Municipality and Fastiv Municipality have identified a common challenge regarding addressing the societal challenge of low youth participation in local decision-making processes, a problem affecting both Ukraine and Sweden. Despite making up a large portion of the population, young people have limited influence on local politics and community development.
The project aims to enhance youth involvement, recognizing its importance in promoting social change and Euro-Atlantic integration. The Fastiv community, with its experience in crisis management and youth engagement, will collaborate with Trollhättan to share knowledge, particularly regarding Fastiv’s Youth Council, which Trollhättan aims to establish.
During the inception phase, the partners will learn about each other’s contexts, anchor and prepare for a full-scale partnership in respective organization by forming a steering group and plan a future project.
The partnership is part of the Democratic Resilience Network.
