Youth Study Session Report: Advocacy for better policies to prevent and end youth home­less­ness (2015)

This report gives an account of the various aspects of the study session, which brought together 37 participants from over 20 countries to share and improve their advocacy skills. The aim of the study session was to ensure that participants had an understanding of how to advocate with and for young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, at an individual level, within their organisations and on a political level in their communities and in Europe. Advocacy experts shared their experience, participants used small group sessions to consider how to integrate human rights into their work, and how to develop advocacy plans, and at the end of the study session, FEANTSA Youth decided that they are ready to work together to create coordinated advocacy actions across Europe. This report was produced by and is the responsibility of the educational team of the study session. It does not represent the official point of view of the Council of Europe
