Title: Social capital development as a tool of youth civic participation in Eastern Europe countries
Summary
Overall objective:Contribute to the development of civic participation at EU countries with transition economies by promotion of the social capital and European citizen's initiative within youth sector.Problem statement: International Civic and Citizenship Study (2009) states that differences in civic engagement and participation exist between Western and Eastern Europe countries. Other studies (Coffé, 2009) have shown that former East Bloc countries have lower levels of participation. Research “Youth Future Civic Participation in Europe(..)’'(2009) states that comparing countries within the group of new democracies, observed that students from the Eastern Europe have lower levels of expected future participation than the established democracies. Based on the EU CITIZENSHIP REPORT (2010) - 59% of youth couldn’t give positive answer to the question “Are you familiar with the term ”citizen of European Union''?Proposed solution: Different agents shape youth’s civic participation and engagement: (family, school, peers, non-governmental organizations, media (Ménard, 2010). Social capital development is a new method to overcome existing challenges and bring positive impact by different youth’s civic participation. Based on the research, that NGO can play important role to promote civic participation, 5 NGO’s will foster civic participation in youth sector by different activities: conferences; round table discussions; workshop and training activities, creation of common publications and guide - to engage youth.Aims:Facilitate social capital development in Eastern Europe through developed program;Encourage and educate youth to use and create new tools for civic participation;Educate and train about civic engagement through innovative tools ( e.g. participatory budgeting; European citizen's initiative);Research social and civic participation understanding within youth sector and share research findings;Disseminate results.
