The 2nd preparation meting for the Seminar "Architecture of Youth Participation"

The 2^nd planing meting brought us back in the past in the beginning, We shortly went trough all the projects what had been developed in the frame of the public participation in the last 4 years. This process, made us to think about the lessons what we learned from each of the project and how we can implement the lessons in this project.

After analyzing the history and reflecting on the previous experience we started to think – what could be the critical issues in this project. The discussion expanded very fruitful and we discussed some things that didn't bumped in our mind before. In the end we placed the critical issues in the hurricanes on our plan.

Now was the time to think of participant core competences what they would need in order to be able fully participant in the seminar. Well the list came out a bit long one......indeed so many things to be aware when you work in a team.

The next step what we took was the brainstorming of results what we need to achieve with the sessions, so we could reach our vision. We brainstormed around 30 min and many different things came out. After discussing the brainstormed results we stopped the process, because we feel that we need more structure on participation campaigns. We decided to look more on different materials about youth participation and meet next day again.

Several hours latter we borough the topic of the seminar again in the center of our discussion. This time one of the questions was - do we focus on speaking about campaign, which is involving as well young people or we focus on the campaign which is aimed to involve young people? These questions brought us in deep discussion...in the end we agree to focus on campaign which involves young people as well. It was already 22:00 o'clock and we decided that it's time to go home and to meet tomorrow again to continue.
