The BePart project reached its end! This project started in December 2019 and integrated 8 partners from Portugal, Spain, Greece and Latvia: Mentortec (Coordinator), Centre for Research and Intervention in Education (CIIE), Escola Secundária de Paços de Ferreira, Platoniq, Action Synergy, 2o Gymnasio Geraka, Valmiera Pargauja Primary School, and Escola Virolai.
During 3 years of implementation, the BePart project aimed to develop, implement and evaluate an innovative participatory youth approach to be implemented in regular schools, fostering inclusive education while promoting citizenship competencies and youth empowerment.
The innovative participatory youth approach designed in the BePart project relied on the youth-led development concept, which places the youth at the centre of their change, development and growth. This was made by challenging students, aged between 13-15 years old from disadvantaged backgrounds, to take part in the process of decision-making of their schools and, by this way, acquire and/or develop their civic competencies, empowerment and, ultimately, their social inclusion.
