PROJECT ANNOTATION:

The goal of the project is to provide municipalities and cities with a set of practical insights, tools, and procedures on how to enhance their attractiveness to young people and effectively engage them as key actors in their future development. Based on research into young people's perceptions of quality of life, housing, employment, and leisure, as well as an analysis of existing Czech and international experiences in "working with young people," we will propose and validate a methodology outlining what municipalities and cities should do and how to make themselves appealing to young people. Special attention will be given to the use of modern communication, participatory, and co-production approaches. The findings obtained during the project will be summarized in a professional book and other publication outputs.
