ENSURING SECURITY: PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL

Which are the preconditions for all participants

to feel safe in terms of environment

of the initiative? Which steps can be

taken to prevent any sort of violence from

happening?

Tip:

Security procedures sometimes can be discouraging and an obstacle

to participation. It helps to clearly communicate why certain procedures

are needed, who will have access to data, and how it will be used. Being

transparent and treating young people as rights-holders who are able to

understand rationale behind decisions certainly contributes to building trust

and partnership.

Do I plan to check if participants are fine

with video and photo taking?

Can I guarantee that personal data of participants

won’t be used for other purposes

but this initiative by any parties involved?

ENGAGING METHODOLOGY

especially towards ensuring interactivity?
