The Handbook for Innovative Democracy
The Handbook for Innovative Democracy presents tangible policy proposals for decision-makers originating from IYTT youth conferences. These proposals aim at strengthening democracy in the three policy areas: Governance, Education, and Equity.
The Handbook presents the proposals into policy areas and resource parameters necessary for policy implementation. It is a user-friendly, quick-to-use guide that inspires democracy-renewal fitting the needs, contexts, and capabilities of decision-makers.
Below, you may explore the proposals using the parameters and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
