GRET and its partners are exploring new dimensions of youth integration via the JADE* programme, funded by Agence française de développement. This programme aims to design and test innovative, relevant ways of supporting young people in their overall integration. This means focusing not just on economic and professional integration, but also on social, civic, environmental and climatic integration.
In this context, GRET and its partners are conducting strategic reflection, drawing on their experiences in the field and on the progress made by research in these areas. A summary of this progress is presented in factsheets drawn up to create a common base of knowledge and reflection on youth and overall integration. In this regard, we should underline the limits of the exercise, which remains dependent on the progress of research on these subjects.
In this factsheet, GRET examines the role of young people in intergenerational relationships and the inclusion of these issues in development projects.
