The Education for Youth Empowerment (EYE) programme targets a relatively wide age group, 12 – 24 year olds, in various countries. This toolkit is rather generic so you always have to consider if tips, tools, methods and exercises are appropriate in your specific context, culture and age group before applying them. Even when found appropriate, you can never just copy. You always have to adapt them to your specific target group and context.

Intended users of the toolkit • Field facilitators and programme staff who are directly involved in the implementation of youth social and civic empowerment programmes, as well as youth who are already empowered and act as peer facilitators for other youth. This compilation of best practices, tools, methods, tips, exercises and suggested training workshops can be used to develop and improve programmes for youth.

Other possible users • Programme staff engaged in designing and planning of and fundraising for youth participation and youth social and civic empowerment programmes. Inspiration can be found for writing project documents and developing budgets. The toolkit can also be used as a checklist to ensure that important parts of the empowerment process are not left out in the programme design and budget.
