The Youth Council of Spain organizes a Summer School with more than 80 young people from all over Spain

28/06/2023

  •  The Summer School equips participants with knowledge and skills in youth participation.

Madrid, June 28, 2023-. The Youth Council of Spain (CJE) organized the latest edition of its Summer School, held between June 18 and 23 at the Latin American Youth Center (CEULAJ) in the town of Mollina (Malaga). This meeting is a training space aimed at people between 14 and 30 years of age from the various youth organizations and regional Youth Councils that make up the Council, as well as non-associated youth.

The main objective of the Summer School is to empower non-associated young people and members of CJE youth organizations to obtain the necessary training in youth participation, which will provide them with the knowledge required for the achievement of initiatives that promote the fulfillment of their social rights through institutional relations and communication, while helping to strengthen relations between its member organizations and associated youth.

In this sense, the Summer School follows the spirit of the European Year of Competences, an initiative of the European Union that aims to promote and improve the competences and skills of European citizens. One of the main goals pursued by the CJE is to raise awareness about the importance of competences and non-formal and lifelong learning, as well as active participation in society, especially for young people and the value of non-formal education in empowering youth through volunteering.
 

This edition included training courses in Communication, Political Advocacy and Participation Management. In this way, tools and knowledge have been offered to young people to design and create campaigns, learn how advocacy processes work, generating, sharing and using knowledge on youth issues to respond to the needs and obstacles faced by young people in areas such as employment, housing, climate crisis or mental health.

  • The "Break the Glass!" survey aims to give young people a voice and place their needs at the center of the political debate in the election campaign.

Madrid, June 14, 2023 -. In view of the upcoming elections on July 23rd, the Spanish Youth Council (CJE) has launched a survey aimed at Spanish youth to find out their needs, concerns and opinions regarding current politics and place them at the center of the electoral debate. The CJE, which has a long history of defending the rights of young people, has opted to have its own digital participation space designed to host processes of listening, participation and deliberation of Spanish youth.

The survey, which has the slogan "Break the glass!", aims to know the opinion of young people before the imminent elections, and, more broadly, their relationship with the political system, their attitudes towards political participation -both institutional and unconventional- and, especially, their position on the issues that most affect them.

The active listening process is available on the CJE's digital participation platform developed by the technology company Osoigo Nextand the deadline for participation is June 30. The results will be presented in a report in order to be taken into account in the public and political debate in our country during the weeks leading up to the elections.

This will be the first experience of the CJE in its commitment to integrate digital participation in the organization, which aims to amplify, channel and promote the involvement of young people in the social, economic, political and cultural development of our country.

In short, it is an initiative that contributes to rethink the forms of participation and aims to know the vision of youth on current politics to make the data collected and its subsequent analysis available for public and political debate in the election campaign of 23J.
