From 8 to 13 Jun 201, Puntland Diaspora Forum  in cooperation with DYPALL Network received a group of 21 representatives from organizations working with youth relevant issues and municipalities, for the study visit “Boosting Youth Participation at Local Level” (Boosting YP). These participants were from Portugal, Sweden, Turkey, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, Malta, Netherlands and Italy, and the visit to the Norhet  of Sweden  was the nexet  implementation phase of this project.

Boosting YP was co-financed by the Erasmus+ programme via the Swedish Agency for Youth and Civil Society, and is aiming at reinforcing existing programmes on youth participation in geographically isolated areas, sharing practices and draw civil society organizations closer to public authorities and institutions.

The project made the participants closer to the decision making processes at local and level as well as contributed to enhance their perception and engagement in representative and participatory democracy.  Another outcome was that the participants also worked together, structuring long term impact back in their own realities.
