It compares the impact of LYCs in Estonia, Lithuania, Norway, and Portugal, analyzing their structures, challenges, and successes. The study provides recommendations and resources to improve youth engagement at the local level, aiming to foster more inclusive and impactful youth participation in governance. The analysis serves as a resource for policymakers, youth organisations, and LYC members.
