During the symposium, the participants emphasized the need for local interventions that prioritize young people and strengthen their sense of belonging and empowerment. Effective cooperation with different actors at the local and national level and the creation of partnerships were highlighted as necessary forms to respond to the needs of young people and the community, and to identify and protect those who are at risk of entering a life of crime.
