Participation proces : 3 main thoughts

You have to know why you use Youth participation.

The participants need to have an overview of the whole participation proces andtheir role in it.From the start is has to be clear where their power/ influence starts and ends.

In the framework of Europan Mobility Week, around 50 youth participants from Flanders in Belgium and Buskerud in Norway between 15 and 20 years of age will meet to develop their policy advice for more sustainable transport and urban planning on regional level. Measures on regional and local level play a crucial role in reaching the SDGs and EU climate targets, and the youth will work actively with SDG 11 and 12* in developing their policy advice.

Regional decision makers from Flanders and Buskerud provide concrete cases where they want the youth group’s input. The youth participants work on the cases during a two-day workshop that culminates with a dialogue meeting 18 September at BOZAR in Brussels with regional decision makers from Flanders and Buskerud.

Each group follows its own pace.

It can therefore be perfect that the other groups are already a phase further in the process at a given moment.

We keep 5 phases that we go through, the first 4 are crucial, the 5th is rather optional:

1) Brainstorming

2) Choose

3) To deepen

4) Formulate concrete advice

5) Create a ( little) show moment

At 5 pm we go and listen to 3 other groups and see where they are already. We give these groups (constructive) feedback. After dinner each group has one hour to get started with the feedback and to plan their Wednesday

Sustainable e-commerce: is it possible?

An increase in the number of online shopping purchases can overall affect travel time, traffic delays, and vehicle emissions of the transportation network.

Case: What are the environmental issues when it comes to the vehicle from online shopping – and how can the delivery chain be optimized? Which of the UNs 17 Sustainable Development Goals are affected by this?
