{"product_id":"9781529245356","title":"Turning Youth Voice into Sustainable Public Policy : The Promise of Urban Democracy by James Sloam","description":"Challenging traditional narratives on youth engagement, this book examines how democracy can be reimagined as grassroots engagement with local policy makers between elections. The book explores a unique blend of under-researched themes including the everyday politics of young people, the interface between civic authorities and young citizens in policy making and the promise of urban democracy. Offering a rare policy-based and youth-centred approach to young people and democratic participation, this book recasts the existing democratic deficit as a failure in public policy and calls for researchers and policy makers to focus on how to amplify young people's voices in a more inclusive and meaningful way, to turn youth voice into sustainable public policy. The civic mentoring model developed with young Londoners offers practical steps for making this happen.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56419856351605,"sku":"9781529245356","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781529245356","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
