This project is aimed at raising the capacities of partner youth associations for networking and policy dialogue to enhance civic participation of young people from deprived urban areas using ICT (Information and Communication Technology) skills. Understanding all vital aspects of the so-called e-citizenship (community participation through electronic media) will enable the youth councils and associations to act as trained multipliers in national networks mainstreaming access of youth from deprived urban areas to community civic life and policy making.Partner youth and student councils and associations from the UK, USA, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Bulgaria will carry out research activities, exchange best practices at Silicon Valley business park , undergo ICT and digital skills workshops and work together on encouraging policy dialogue, cooperation and networking to apply the obtained knowledge to participation field. In this project our partnership will use the resources of the established youth councils and associations to develop a pilot model of good practice for use of other partners and produce an action plan for local peer e-campaigners to ensure understanding of the important processes that go in hand with accessing youth to community civic life, which fully fits within the objectives of the participating organisations.Follow-up and dissemination stage planning will allow for the emergence of new youth initiatives in governmental , private and public sector to represent interests of youth from deprived urban areas and development of an action plan to encourage young people from a wide spectrum of cultural backgrounds to find out what they can do if they want to take active part in building up or maintaining participatory youth policies and e-democracy (vs. traditional forms of civic participation) in their country. The innovative feature of this project will be the promotion of ICT and media literacy as a tool to deal with the issues of civic participation of youth from deprived urban areas. Each partner will be represented by an equal number of participants in every stage of the project.
