Our members are working to include youth in participatory budgeting across Eastern Europe?
How can we adapt our current political participation and education models to include youth voices? Youth participatory budgeting gives us a compelling way to achieve that. People Powered members have joined forces to expand youth participatory budgeting to schools across four Eastern European countries.
How participatory programs can better include women
In Santa Ana Tzacuala, Mexico, like in many rural areas around the world, decision-making typically excludes women. Things changed when our member, Ollin, arrived to run a participatory budgeting program designed to include women every step of the way. What resulted were innovative ideas from women and children to protect the environment and create spaces for families. Learn the best practices that made this process a success and how you can better include women in participatory programs.
