Editor's Notes
- Ageing with several issues related to countries with hiring freezes, which leads to a lack of mentorship for new people coming into the organisation. We thus, need to support our young staff and not to lose the knowledge and experience. We need to look at how to engage young people in this area and work with them to ensure that there is interest for the future as well.
- What is YPARD Why YPARD? youth are often doing a lot of the work but not getting adequate recognition and their voice and key concerns are not heard nor taken into consideration. ‘Silent’ performers; passive participants Limited access to trainings, meetings aor attending conferences like this one. It’s not always easy for youths to speak up in their organisations, to give their viewpoint, to ask questions or to voice their concerns. YPARD can help to allow them to discuss these issues with other youth are the key stakeholders for the sustainability of the ARD arena
- Youth are an asset and yet they are often viewed as inexperienced and unable to contribute to discussions. They provide new ways of thinking and enable us to question our current methods. enthusiastic, open and frank, at ease with change and complexity, have good computer literacy, build collaboration and partnerships and tend to reject traditional hierarchical and inter-institutional relationships Youth often not selected to attend meetings and workshops due to their inexperience
- Each has its own webpage and we can target each person separately Also a new Europe region
- In surveys and discussions youth say that they want opportunities to network in thier field
- May include helping organisations to understand youth aspirations, helping to frame reward systems for young people, and creating concrete steps on better youth engagement Study will be released at the end of this month. Wanted to provide a youth perspective on those skills that young people entering the workforce feel they needed and did not receive in school. This was compared to a limited group of employers who also provided responses. Many soft skills came out, ability to network and communicate across disciplines. Entrepreneurship skills also came out strongly, surely in light of several people who have not been able to find work after their studies.
- Needs are region specific
- Wider perspective
