Youth across Europe, united to shape the future of democracy — 180 young people, 6 countries, one shared vision
Elevate youth voices and make diverse perspectives heard across Europe
Build bridges between young people, organisations and decision-makers
Turn civic energy into real impact through action, policy and participation
YouthVoices aims to increase democratic participation skills of 180 young people (30 per partner country, ≥40% disadvantaged). The project strengthens digital citizenship, intercultural dialogue and civic confidence, building sustainable youth networks that influence policy through youth-led outputs.
Practical civic skills through assemblies, portals & simulations
Interactive tools, podcasts & a civic engagement portal
6 countries, 6 cultures, one shared democratic vision
≥40% disadvantaged youth, translated resources, accessible formats
Young people gain direct, practical ways to experience democratic values through civic portals, online polls, simulation tools, local youth assemblies and an EU-level youth parliament event.
New digital and creative resources (co-created civic portal, youth podcasts, visual storybook) expand the toolkit for youth workers, making civic education attractive and interactive.
Activities are inclusive, translated into partner languages, and adaptable. Recruitment focuses on participants with fewer opportunities, ensuring civic education reaches beyond privileged groups.
