Youth Study Session Report: Preventing and addressing youth home­less­ness through access to social rights (2014)

In March 2014, FEANTSA held its first study session at the European Youth Centre in Budapest. In cooperation with the Council of Europe’s Youth Department, FEANTSA’s Youth Homelessness Network organised a week‐long session for young people working with youth who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The study session gave participants the opportunity to:

• develop a deeper understanding of human rights education and social rights in particular;
• exchange ideas on raising awareness about social rights amongst young people and in their organisations and communities;
• share their experiences of practice and policy in their work with homeless or at risk young people and learn from others;
• share practices to help combat discrimination against young people, particularly when they try to access their social rights;
• develop skills for working with partners and building coalitions in different countries, across different sectors (health, justice, social care, education).
