YouthMetre: a tool for forward looking youth participation
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

In line with the objectives of the Erasmus+ Programme and in order to foster the achievement of Europe2020 goals, the YouthMetre project aims to support EU Member States, municipalities and regions in carrying out effective policy reforms in the field of Youth, in line with the indications provided by the EU Youth Strategy and according to the priorities perceived by its target population: young Europeans.In line with the objectives of the Call, YouthMetre activities provide in-depth knowledge about the perceived needs of Young Europeans in learning, teaching, training or youth work situations and effective methodologies and tools that help policy makers to develop initiatives in line with the target population’s collected needs.The YouthMetre project empowers young people, encouraging them to become engaged and actively participate in EU Youth policy matters. YouthMetre connects young people and their needs to the public sector and the initiatives and actions being undertaken there under OMC. A benchmarking process leads to the establishment of a data dashboard and visualization of EU Policy achievements using innovative but now mainstream technologies. YouthMetre is competitive encouraging the outcomes of public authorities' actions to be measured and compared.The project approach derives from the acknowledged difficulty for policy makers to develop ideas and implement initiatives in youth policy fields that respond to the self-perceived needs of youngsters living in their target territories. It contributes to the Open Method of Coordination in the field of youth since it envisages the establishment of a set of indicators measuring the “performance” of local authorities in youth policy fields and fosters the exchange of good practices.
