International Winterschool 2020/2021 online: "Universal Human Rights – Youth Participation and Care"

Especially for the moment, when the Corona pandemic asks many children, teenagers and young adults to stay at home, the lack of participatory opportunities in our societies for these group of people can be seen. Children and teenagers up to a certain age are not heard in democratic processes, because their voices don’t matter, they don’t vote. Child’s policy is usually the domain of adults. In this year’s International Winterschool we want to exchange and develop new ideas on how to strengthen the participation of children, teenagers and young adults in our societies.

Together with participants from many other countries it will also be about opening up new target groups and formats and making your own youth education commitment more diversified and inclusive, both internally and externally, in order to address and involve marginalized young people who are not involved in politics. 

Young people between 16 and 30 years of age are invited to participate. Our seminar offers a space to learn from each other, to discuss current challenges and to develop ideas to carry out projects in local groups, organizations, societies, communities or internationally. Due to the corona pandemic, we would also like to look especially into the connection between “care” work with children and adolescents and their social participation.

 As usual, the seminar will be held in English. For the first time it will be held online.
