Guide to creating child and adolescent participation bodies

Toolkit to help municipalities set up meaningful participation bodies for children and adolescents.

This guide from the Government of Navarre provides municipalities and education/facilitation practitioners with practical advice to design, implement, and sustain local bodies for child and adolescent participation. It includes evidence from pilot municipalities, examples of participation bodies in Navarre, and good practices. Key topics are defining legal and organizational frameworks, ensuring representation of children and adolescents, establishing safe spaces, clarifying roles and responsibilities, facilitation, and follow-up (ensuring voices influence decisions). It is intended for local governments, school administrations and NGOs who want to create meaningful structures for youth participation, beyond consultative-only models.
