On March 15th, BOLSTER hosted its 3rd policy dialogue, part of a series of 10 organised by ECAS within the project framework.
The event brought together 58 participants and enhanced awareness of the challenges and existing best practices for inclusive youth engagement in the green transition in Halle (Saxony-Anhalt, Germany), Ukrainian coal regions, and the EU level.
During the dialogue, speakers delved into the perceptions and roles of young people in the green transition, with a spotlight on the Halle region. The discussions focused on the challenges and best practices for fostering inclusive youth engagement in the just transition process. Additionally, the discussions explored the effectiveness of participatory methods in involving marginalised youth in decision-making related to environmental issues.
