This workshop examines how tokenism can appear in youth engagement and inclusion efforts, and explores ways to foster genuine participation. It includes concept framing, real-life examples, research insights, personal experiences, and group discussions. Participants will reflect on subtle and systemic forms of tokenism and contribute to the development of a Meaningful Youth Engagement Charter/Checklist.
The session provides space for reflection and dialogue, connecting to ongoing research at AIA NRW on youth perspectives in migration policy. Insights may inform future discussions and publications on youth engagement.
This workshop is orgnaized by our Fellow Chisomo Banda in cooperation with Ruhrpott for Europe, a youth-led organization in NRW working to empower young people in the Ruhr region to actively shape the future of Europe.
