Valencia

Valencia feels there is a lack of understanding of youth lifestyles and low involvement of the young in local community and decision making. Valencia wants to promote new links between city council and the young and coordinate better the various youth initiatives, and to tap into the potential of arts in employment. Through MY GENERATION Valencia wants to learn on youth involvement in local community and can contribute on experiences of a youth initiative. Key interest: Better coordination and employment.
