Who We Are

5 Basic Principles of LCOY Working Group

The most important role of this working group is to empower and support young people who want to make a difference in their communities.

SUPPORT

CONSENT

All decisions are made by consent. However, responsibilities can be delegated to specific groups that can then act autonomously.

Meaningful participation by everyone is only possible if we are transparent about the processes and our decisions.

TRANSPARENCY

EQUITY

We actively welcome each and every young person, no matter what background they have and with what level of experience they join.

Both as a group and as its members, we have to experiment, make mistakes, and learn continuously.

LEARNING

Task-forces

YOUNGO LCOY working Group has 4 separate taskforces to take up different tasks to support LCOYs throughout the world. If you are interested, you can join any of these taskforces according to your choice and expertise.
