NextGen Rights

Children’s and young people’s rights are important. But they only matter if they can actually be felt in everyday life. That’s exactly what NextGen Rights is about. Young people from Italy, Poland, the United Kingdom and Germany come together to talk about their rights. They ask themselves: Where do we run up against limits? What’s missing? And how can we be better protected and truly heard?

Everyone should be able to have a say and help shape the project. Young people with disabilities, with experiences of flight or migration, or from socially disadvantaged backgrounds also share what matters to them. This makes clear how different experiences can be and how much we can learn from each other.

Through workshops, discussions and joint activities, the young people develop concrete ideas for greater participation and better protection of their rights. The results will have an impact beyond the project itself: they will feed directly into youth work in the form of a report, a guide for professionals, and a collection of methods.

The project includes international partner meetings as well as international workshops, along with four youth exchanges and two training courses for professionals.
