Project description

How can we ensure that policymakers see participation as an important part of their policies? And how do we ensure that children and young people are seen as equal citizens?

So how can we ensure that we create a culture, in which participation of children and young people (in policy processes) is normal?

Despite the many tools and methodologies, partners from research, civil society and local governments indicate that this shared mindset is still too often missing.

Platform C wants to provide an answer to the question of how we can focus more strongly on the equal citizenship of children and young people in Flanders, Belgium and Europe.

Platform C with the C of citizenship, cocreation, culture shift,... but certainly also with the C of COVID and crisis.
