Youth Participation Lab

A table where ideas take shape

ID4Children's Youth Participation Lab is a project that aims to strengthen the integration, participation and autonomy of migrant and local young people in Geneva, aged 18 to 25.

At its heart is a Youth Roundtable made up of migrant and local young people from Geneva, serving as a space for meeting, dialogue and collective work. Through meetings and participatory workshops, its members will share experiences, identify needs and design concrete solutions to the challenges they face.

The goal is for young people themselves to be the driving force behind initiatives that promote inclusion, wellbeing and participation in their community.
