Youth unemployment is one of the most serious challenges we face. In Spain, where I live, more than 50% of young people are unemployed. More than 32% are early school leavers. More than 25% live below the poverty line. The threat of a lost generation is much more acute than the risk of the Spanish banking system collapsing.
Participation forms the core of our methodology and is central to our creativity.
Participation is crucial for a teacher seeking to engage students and parents in the learning process. Participation is fundamental for a company aiming to involve its employees in an empowerment scheme and strengthen corporate culture. Participation is essential for a public authority (city council or ministry) wanting to involve citizens in an awareness-raising campaign. Participation is key for an NGO aspiring to transform its members and volunteers into social activists.
