Goal
Our goal is to train adolescents on topics, processes, methods and leadership skills as well as to accompany them in the solution finding process that will help bring innovation to public administrations, and shape the Switzerland of tomorrow.
-
Challenge
Adolescents (15-19 years of age) have something to say and learn, they want to help shape society at an early age. On the other hand, government agencies often struggle to integrate innovative, youth-oriented, practices. We want to bridge this gap.
-
Need for Action
The project intends to provide the adolescents with direct influence on the implementation of state services. This infers citizen empowerment and the potential to co-create citizen-centered public services.

Special Quality of the Project; Suitability of the Organization
The project builds a community of young Innovation Champions and involves them directly in the design of sustainable public services solutions. This requires partners who think across sectors, work methodically and are highly networked.
