2023 Award "Best Practice in Citizen Participation"
17th Edition
Tehran: Youth Club
Since the approach of the transcendent citizen is on the agenda of Tehran Municipality's General Department of Citizenship Education, it is necessary to address educational issues, especially in the areas of citizenship ethics and citizenship rights and duties for teenagers, if these trainings are not provided to teenagers in a correct and targeted manner, they will be deprived of the possibility of social participation. Therefore, it seems necessary to create a club that provides social participation for teenagers with cultural and social activities.
In line with the inherent mission of Tehran Municipality's General Department of Citizenship Education with the aim of defining adolescent-oriented projects and planning implemented last year, the first step of the establishment of youth clubs was placed on the agenda of this General Department.
These clubs were launched with the aim of increasing the participation of teenagers, strengthening the citizenship identity of this group, creating a suitable platform for the social and cultural presence of teenagers in the context of the city and the development of social creativity of teenagers.
After setting up the centers, the secretaries of the center select at least 3 titles from among the proposed titles according to the capacity and conditions of the region and form the relevant committee with the members of the center. The titles of the mentioned committees are:
- Health and environment committee
- Participation and social services committee
- Public relations and technology committee
- Cultural and sports committee
- Education Committee
These youth clubs start their cooperation with non-governmental organizations through urban management, and the most important measures include the following:
- Holding educational workshops for students who are left out of school
- Participation in holding national programs
- Identification of urban problems and transfer to urban management
- Formation of volunteer cultural, artistic and educational groups
- Creating communication between families and city management
