Youth Participation in Local Policymaking

Promoting structured dialogue, youth participation, and local youth action plans in cooperation with the National Youth Congress and local institutions.

As members and local partners of the National Youth Congress, New Bridges contributed to the implementation of the project “Acting Together in Shaping Youth Policies at Local and Central Level through Structured Dialogue / Local Action Plans for Youth Empowerment and Youth Voice in Budgeting,” supported by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung.

Within this initiative, New Bridges worked on the development of a Local Youth Action Plan for the Municipality of Ura Vajgurore (now Dimal Municipality), aiming to strengthen youth participation in local decision-making processes and promote structured dialogue between young people and local institutions.

The project focused on empowering youth voices in policymaking, encouraging civic participation, and increasing the involvement of young people in local governance and budgeting processes.
