Tips and tricks for more and better youth eParticipation
The OPIN guidelines are designed to assist initiators who wish to carry out youth eParticipation projects on the OPIN platform, developed by the EUth project partners, as well as initiators of youth participation in general – both online and offline – who can also benefit from reading them. Whether you are working in a public administration, a youth organisation, or somewhere completely different, the OPIN guidelines are here to help you. The guidelines offer practical tips and tricks and direct your attention to issues you need to consider in order to succeed with your project. References are made to other documents that might help you where these guidelines do not go into much detail.
Behind the scenes of the OPIN guidelines
The OPIN guidelines have been developed by the Danish Board of Technology Foundation (DBT) in collaboration with the EUth project partners. In the process of development, European youth workers, stakeholders, researchers, and young people have continuously shared their insights, experiences and visions for youth eParticipation with us.
Happy reading!
