Quick Scan
This is a simplified version of the four in-depth assessments to help you understand what you can expect if you register your municipality.
Registration
Map who are the people inside and around the municipal authority who are key partners to have success.
In-depth assessments
You will go through the 4 pillars from 1 to 4, each starting with assessing your actual situation.
Selected resources and quizes
In each pillar you will find 3 carefully selected background resources to read or watch, and a quiz in each pillar will check if your team understood their content.
Action plans
In each pillar you can plan concrete actions for your team members to improve the weaker aspects of your municipal situation.
Final assignment
Each pillar will end with an assignment that you need to accomplish with your team together. Consider it as your final exam of the pillar.
They trust us
European municipalities share their experiences
For the City of Kielce, the Democracy Reloading tool is a valuable resource supporting our emerging Youth Strategy and strengthening youth participation. It helps municipalities improve participation processes and engage young people more effectively in local decision-making. We believe it can benefit many municipalities across Europe.

Other municipalities should also adopt this e-learning, because it creates a shared knowledge base and framework on meaningful youth participation, enabling them to involve young people more structurally and effectively in municipal policy and decision-making.
