Collaborate on a variety of projects that reflect the interests of young people, families and the community
Projects might relate to:
promoting lifestyle habits that lead to community success, health and well-being (e.g. building parks and playgrounds, youth relations and representation with local authorities, community gardens)
creating a just, equitable and peaceful society (e.g. mutual assistance among community members, intergenerational projects, volunteering for community organizations)
strengthening of the sense of community (e.g. spring cleaning in parks, planting trees and plants).
This action is aligned with the following framework:
Foster and encourage family participation and engagement in community projects
Share information with families and young people.
Consult with families and young people regarding planned projects and invite them to participate.
Make community partners aware of the importance of considering the reality of families when organizing activities (e.g. family members’ schedules, cultural differences, financial means, transportation).
Make a meeting space available to family and youth participants.
