Събитието ще се проведе от 8 до 11 април 2024 година в хотел „Верея“ и се организира по проект BGLD – 1.003.0003 „Международен младежки център Стара Загора – мисли локално, действай глобално“ финансиран от Финансовия механизъм на Европейското икономическо пространство по програма „Местно развитие, намаляване на бедността и подобрено включване на уязвими групи“.

Международен младежки център-Стара Загора се заема със смелата задача да бъде домакин на Националната конференция на тема “Перспективи пред развитието на младежките политики и институционализирането на младежките центрове в България“. Целта е с провеждането на форума да се потърсят отговори на всички предизвикателства пред младежката работа и политики. С участието на всички заинтересовани страни се цели да бъдат очертани конкретни стъпки и предложения за полагане основите на институционализацията на младежките центровете в България.

Националната конференцията ще даде перспективи на младежката политика на национално и на местно ниво, важен приоритет, който младите хора на България заслужават. За тази цел е необходимо ангажиране на всички заинтересовани страни в лицето на съответните министерства, национални институции, местни власти и др. за създаването на механизъм за институционализирането на тези вече доказано добре работещи структури за младежка работа.

По време на конференцията ще бъде проведена панелна дискусия за младежките политики на местно ниво и младежкото участие, в която ще се включат заместник-кметове и ръководители на досегашните проекти за младежки центрове, изградени и функциониращи по програма „Местно развитие, намаляване на бедността и подобрено включване на уязвими групи“.

В рамките на форума ще бъде представена и Националната мрежа на младежките центрове в България, както и добри практики от младежката работа в страната.
