Thematic meeting
Empowering young people - Road to Ghent
"It's all about you(th): the transformative power of youth participation and leadership for community foundations" is the in person peer learning event organised by ECFI in collaboration with Streekfonds Oost Vlaanderen and with the support of King Baudouin Foundation on the 11-13th September 2024 in Ghent (Belgium). The city's choice is intentional: Ghent is the European Youth Capital in 2024!
We will be soon opening the registration, share the agenda and other updates: if you want to be kept informed leave your contacts here.
We kicked-off the journey to Ghent with an online meeting "Empowering young people as active participants and decision-makers in community foundations: from fundamentals (why) to examples of practice (how)", where along with representatives of Elevate Children Funders Group, we explored the fundamentals of their toolkit, Weaving a collective tapestry – A funders toolkit for child and youth participation, which aims to build an appreciation of the value of meaningful involvement of children and young people, and to offer ways to improve practice.
