This conference will present findings from the EU FP7 funded research project, CITISPYCE, into social innovation of and for young people against inequalities in Europe post-2008 and will set out recommendations for future policies and practice. It will provide opportunities for debate and reflection between academics, policy-makers, practitioners and young people themselves on:
- the changing nature of inequalities facing young people across Europe today
- potentially innovative approaches and practices to overcome these inequalities
- engaging young people more effectively in policy-making processes
