Date du début: 1 déc. 2016, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2018 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

“A Resilient City is one that has developed capacities to help absorb future shocks and stresses to its social, economic, and technical systems and infrastructures so as to still be able to maintain essentially the same functions, structures, systems, and identity.” With this structured dialogue process we want to raise the youth aspect in the process of making Thessaloniki a resilient city and to ensure that young people's voices but also their role and responsibility are embedded in such process. As its officially described Thessaloniki is a youthful city and as such it should be promoted further with a real meaningful structured dialogue process on increasing its performance as a resilient city. In this regards both the city and the youth organizations want to deepen their cooperation and ensure that the young people are also included in the process of making the city resilient. Based on this, the project objectives are:- To establish a process of structured dialogue related to the Resilient city title of Thessaloniki and ensure that the young people are consulted in this process- To engage youth groups in dialogue with the city and regional authorities aiming to promote open process and active engagement from all side- To build long lasting space for dialogue between the city and the youth regarding the key challenges of Thessaloniki in its urban development, thus ensuring that the decisions will be made inclusive and will reflect the opinion of young people. - To promote the Resilient City title of Thessaloniki as a policy and programme opportunity for improving the lives of people living in the city The project is directly developed following the European best practices in structured dialogue, engaging in its creation some of the facilitators of the structured dialogue between the European Commission and the European Youth Forum. The entire process promotes the active participation of youth in all stages of the process. Young people from the applicant organization will be working on planning and envisioning how the process will go, then implement it and then also envision the follow-up. Also most of the decisions the young people can make together with the city and in this way practice true citizenship engagement. In total 255 participants our of which 53 with fewer opportunities will be supported to engage in dialogue. We also aim to have a number of guests in different stages of the programme, who can come to present what is their view on the different topics, share specific projects that have a clear relationship with the topic, listen to outcomes and discuss the views with the participants.There will be 6 resilient challenges to be covered and discussed in such small groups:AGING INFRASTRUCTURE - how does this impact quality of life of young peopleEARTHQUAKE - what can youth organizations to to improve the capacity for quick reaction and saving livesECONOMIC SHIFTS - supporting entrepreneurship opportunities for youthHIGH UNEMPLOYMENT - how to make more jobs for young peopleREFUGEES - role of youth organizations in the refugee crisis and the integration effortsRIOT OR CIVIL UNREST - social dialogue and the role of youth organizations in it
