Overview

This series is made up of practical models and tools for putting the ideas and commitments of the UN General Assembly's 2002 Special Session on Children into practice. Its aim is to provide opportunities for adolescents and young people to participate in the decision-making affecting their lives - not just once, but every day. It covers books such as: ""Participation in the Second Decade of Life"" - what we mean by participation and why it is so important to adolescents; ""Adolescent and Youth Participation - Adults Get Ready!"" how adults can enable adolescents' participation; ""Adolescent Participation and the Project Cycle"" - how to discover the roles adolescents can play and how to achieve them; and, ""Tools for Adolescent and Youth Participation"" - making space for discussion, tools for situational analysis and planning, how to measure progress. The series is intended for practical application by development agencies, practitioners and everyone with an interest in adolescents' development at community, national and global levels.
