April 27-28, 2022 the kick-off meeting of the Active Citizenship for youths by enhancing LIFECOMP competencies through innovative teaching tools and techniques (ACTIVEYOUTH4LIFE) project took place in Valencia, Spain. This was the first face to face meeting of the consortium.ACTIVEYOUTH4LIFE). Ovo je bio prvi sastanak konzorcijuma koji nije održan putem online platformi.
During the meeting the consortium reviewed the findings extracted from the desk research delivered by all partners that summarize into the following important topics:
- Limitations that affect the development of active citizenship to youths
- Determinants for the development of active citizenship opportunities and practice

ACTIVEYOUTH4LIFE applies a holistic approach, addressing both youth workers, trainers, educators and youths so as to provide new alternative, inspirational means for engaging youths and cultivating their key competences that apply to all spheres of life that can help them to thrive in the 21st Century.
