Kraj Vysočina: Young people in the Vysočina Region not only plan, but also implement their projects 
The Children and Youth Council of the Vysočina Region (RDMKV), the Healthy Cities of the Czech Republic (HCCZ) and the Healthy Vysočina Region joined forces and set off on Vysočina activities for more significant engagement of young people in public life. School forums are not discussions on pre-prepared topics or documents. Their goal is to get the widest possible feedback from children and young people, ideas for improving the given school, but especially also their city or town. What is new is that young people can get suitable funding for their ideas thanks to support from the "Youth for Region" program. In addition, thanks to the weekend training, they will learn how to prepare, implement and finance these projects.

| How was the activity funded? | HCCZ financed methodical cooperation and facilitation of events. Other follow-ups, such as a weekend to finalize projects and the actual financing of their implementation, were supported by the Youth for the Region program in cooperation with the Vysočina Children and Youth Council. |
| Describe the main strengths of your activity / project during its realization? | The connection of several organizations with the same interest in the implementation of the activity - HCCZ, the Council of Children and Youth of the Vysočina Region and the Vysočina Region - brought new ideas, impulses and, above all, concrete results in the form of completed projects and acquired experience for young project implementers. |
| Describe the main weaknesses of your activity / project during its realization? | The position of the facilitator plays a big role. On some forums, there were attempts by school representatives to influence the students' discussion and reject some proposals straight away - without discussion. This can be a weakness. If the facilitator fails to eliminate these efforts, it can significantly discourage students from further work. It is therefore strongly recommended to secure an external facilitator for the following years as well, as both teachers and school pupils have a different approach to work. |
Monitoring and evaluation |
|
| Has the impact of the implemented activity / project been measured and evaluated in any way? | The evaluation will take place at the next school forum (usually in a year). There, progress on the TOP10 topics will be evaluated. |
| Do you plan to further develop/maintain the activity/project? | We assume the realization of further school forums within the Vysočina region in the coming months. |
