The Partnerships for Participation project ran throughout 2015 and aimed to strengthen our work on empowering young people to participate in 
external decision-making.
The project sent 10 global EVS volunteers from our member organisations to others across the world to work with teenagers in their local communities. They helped to promote the active participation of children in decision-making and show that with safe and meaningful participation structures in place, teenagers can work effectively with decision-makers to have their strong opinions heard. At the end of the project, we produced the Child Participation Handbook to raise awareness of the importance of child participation and to support educators to empower children and young people to participate in decision-making.
