Demographic Youth IncubatorProgramme implementation, evaluation and key findings
This report summarises the implementation of four Demographic Youth Incubator workshops in Ptuj, Slovenia. The programme opened a structured space for young people to reflect on the future, life goals, relationships, health and personal responsibility.
A reflective workshop on the future that achieved strong acceptance among young participants.
The Demographic Youth Incubator is not designed as a conventional lecture, but as an interactive workshop based on self-reflection, group work and open discussion. Participants reflected on their own future, goals, relationships, health, personal development and factors that shape quality of life.
Results kažejo, da mladi cenijo prostor, kjer lahko o prihodnosti ne samo poslušajo, temveč tudi govorijo, sodelujejo in izrazijo svoje mnenje.
