Summary from the discussion in Europe
Enli, I think you may find this write-up summarising the discussion we had around this topic. It is the result of a process where we drew the background of what statistics were available around young people’s participation in formal channels, as well as how they were interpreted by researchers, public administrations…and then asked community members whether the findings resonated with their own experiences and understanding. These findings went into the policy publication we delivered for the Council of Europe.
After this process we were approached by a former deputy governor of the Swedish central bank to do another project exploring what was happening around the Baltic Sea states and it seems we were not so far off the mark.It would be interesting to see how the experiences are similar or different in Armenia, no?
