SINCRONY’S Toolbox
The SINCRONY Toolbox is an accessible online space that brings together the project’s main tools, methods and findings. It is designed to support more inclusive ways of involving young people, researchers, educators, policymakers and institutions in deliberative and participatory processes.
Through practical resources and research-based insights, the Toolbox helps users understand, adapt and replicate SINCRONY’s approaches in different contexts. It brings together intersectional perspectives, lessons learned from the project’s piloting cases and materials that can continue to inform research, education, policy development and social action beyond the project itself.

educators and facilitators
Educators, teachers, youth workers and facilitators will be able to use the Toolbox resources to help them prepare group sessions, adapt and design participatory activities. Some materials are being developed for being used in classrooms, workshops or community settings, while others will help facilitators design their own approach using the SINCRONY framework. This section will also support those who want to go one step deeper: understanding the methodology, collecting examples, using project evidence and reflecting on how inclusive their own practices really are.

young people and groups
Young people and youth groups will find resources to explore participation on their own terms! This part of the Toolbox will not require expert knowledge; it will offer accessible ways to reflect on who gets heard, who is left out, and how different life experiences shape the way people take part in society. From the Social Portraits card game to the PINGG podcast and participatory workshop formats, these tools will help young people start conversations, organise group moments, recognise inequalities around them and imagine more welcoming democratic spaces.

This part of the Toolbox will not require expert knowledge; it will offer accessible ways to reflect on who gets heard, who is left out, and how different life experiences shape the way people take part in society. From the Social Portraits card game to the PINGG podcast and simple workshop formats, these tools will help young people start conversations, organise group moments, recognise inequalities around them and imagine more welcoming democratic spaces.
researchers and academics
Researchers and academics will find a space to understand how SINCRONY has developed, tested and evaluated its approach to intersectional youth participation. Through understanding conceptual frameworks, methodological approaches, deliverables and evaluation tools, making it easier to trace the connection between theory, fieldwork, participatory design and democratic innovation. It will be especially useful for those interested in deliberative and participatory democracy, youth studies, intersectionality, education, social justice, public governance or evaluation.

policy makers and public administration
For policymakers, public servants, municipalities and public administrations, the Toolbox will bring together policy-oriented resources, research-based findings, guidelines and practical tools like the future SINCRONY Manifesto and also concrete policy recommendations, helping public actors to foster the participation and deliberation of all youth, with a particular focus on those at risk of exclusion.
