Through our two-year European project, we aim to ensure that young caregivers are not only listened to, but are also actively involved in political decisions that impact their daily lives.
Coordinated by Eurocares, the international partners from Italy (Anziani e non solo), Slovenia (University of Ljubljana), Sweden (Linneus University), Bulgaria (Social Network Vesta) and Belgium (Zojong!) are implementing the following action together:
Mapping and Needs Assessment
A comprehensive analysis of existing gaps and promising practices in child participation across EU Member States, with a specific focus on young carers.
Training and Awareness Resources
Development of user-friendly materials and training modules for professionals to build their capacity to support young carers in participation initiatives.
Tested Methods for Engagement
Implementation and evaluation of practical, replicable approaches to include young carers in real policy and service design processes.
Through the OUR VOICES project, we aspire to build together a future in which young carers are seen, valued and protagonists of their tomorrow.
