As the project concludes, public decision-makers and professionals working with and for children are invited to attend the online final project event which will be led by young people who have participated in the project as Mentors and Peer Trainers.
'Although you see that I am small, my way of thinking is big, creative, different.'
- message from children in the 'Together' workshop
Within the event, participants will hear from young people about the activities that have taken place throughout the two-year project, including their experiences of running peer-led workshops delivered to children by Peer Trainers. They will also share the recommendations from children and young people who participated in the workshops on how they would like to participate in public decision-making. A panel discussion between young people and topic experts will also be facilitated, including an interactive Q&A with participants.
The event will take place in two sessions:
-
Session 1: Presentation of the project methodology, outputs, and results, with a focus on the peer-led workshops for children ; 9 October 2024, 10:00-11:30 CET

Session 2: Let our voices be heard! Recommendations from children and young people; 16 October 2024, 10:00-11:30 CET
