This report presents findings from the first phase of the Co-Producing Digital Platforms for Youth Inclusive Urban Governance (YUP) Project, which has explored how young people (aged 10-24) in Surakarta (Solo) and Denpasar in Indonesia, and Bar Elias and El Mina in Lebanon take action in their cities, and the barriers and supportive factors they encounter in doing so.
The findings underscore the need for inclusive governance mechanisms that recognise and
support youth participation and give some hints to the role that digital platforms could play.
As the YUP Project moves into its next phase, the focus will shift toward co-producing digital platforms that bridge the gap between young people and urban stakeholders. By designing participatory tools that reflect young people’s needs and realities, the project aims to create sustainable models of engagement, enabling young people to collaborate with city stakeholders (such as municipal authorities, NGOs, and civil society actors) and to influence decision-making
