Exercise 5: Marketing the project
When you are working in a project together with young people, it is more a rule than an exception that you will have to involve people outside the internal project organisation. It may be civil servants in the municipality who have to give their consent and maybe act as financiers, the police, headmasters at schools, the press that will write positive articles in the papers etc.
This might be a pitfall in many youth projects since many young people doesn’t dare or doesn’t know how to act in meetings like this, or how to come through with a positive result.
