Our Objectives

  • Research & Analysis: The project conducted research the current state of digital advocacy in partner countries , identifying successful youth-led campaigns , and analyzing the specific skill gaps among young people. This research is compiled into a comprehensive report.

  • Educational Toolkit Creation: An educational toolkit is developed to serve as a step-by-step guide for digital advocacy. This toolkit was tested and validated through online training sessions involving 60 participants across the partner countries.

  • Online Hub & Network: A key outcome was the creation of an interactive online platform. This hub acts  as a collaborative space for young people to access resources, connect with peers, and network with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) through activities like "Speed date meetings"​

  • Empowerment Through Action: The project focuses on practical application by facilitating workshops led by young people and hosting a training event in Slovenia to validate the online hub. The ultimate aim was to empower youth to design and run their own advocacy campaigns, giving them a stronger voice in civic life.
