Agora NextGen

Objectives Democracy is now facing many challenges including the rise of populism and low election turnouts. The project aims to equip young people with the necessary knowledge of democratic processes and decision making as well as build capacity and create resources for youth workers to support the social and political participation of young people. The resources developed in this project contribute to empowering young people to participate as active citizens with interactive and youth-oriented methods. Activities We will organise a Joint Staff Training to improve the developed resources and the competences of involved youth workers (15); 4 Multiplier Events to increased awareness of the project outputs, as well as of the concept of active citizenship and youth participation (190 participants); and a training for youth workers that will provide them in depth knowledge, skills, and competencies to empower young people and enhance their participation in democratic processes (30 youth workers). Impact With this project we aim to foster youth participation in democratic life, by developing resources for the target group and the field of youth work that help to raise the ability, competences and motivation of young people for social and civic engagement. The resources/results include: Agora’s Media Library online learning platform on the project website, Agora NextGen Simulation game (on election processes), Advocacy Guidebook on different aspects and possibilities of democratic participation.
