The implementation of the Democracy Lane project was motivated by the ambition to strengthen the participation of young people in democratic life, particularly those with fewer opportunities and limited access to formal decision-making spaces. The project sought to create conditions for young people to become active, informed, and engaged citizens, with the ability to influence public policies that directly impact their lives and communities. Through a comprehensive and inclusive action plan, we aim to empower young people with knowledge, attitudes, and practical tools associated with democratic culture, anchored in the principles of citizenship, critical thinking, and political dialogue. We wanted to contribute to the transition from passive recipients of public decisions to active actors in their formulation. More specifically, the project's objectives were as follows: OBJ 1. To empower young people with skills and attitudes for democratic culture through critical reflection on political systems, human rights, and civic engagement, using non-formal education methodologies appropriate to their contexts; OBJ 2. To promote dialogue and rapprochement between young people and policy makers by creating structured and inclusive spaces for discussion where mutual understanding and recognition of the youth voice as legitimate and relevant in the formulation of public policies could be fostered; OBJ 3. Support the political participation of young people in their territories, encouraging them to identify the challenges they face, propose informed solutions, and develop advocacy strategies for structural change. OBJ 4. Contribute to the development of public policies based on youth contributions by creating a Charter of Recommendations for Youth Policies, developed collaboratively by participants based on evidence gathered throughout the various project activities. OBJ 5. Promote the values and opportunities of the Erasmus+ program, in particular its civic and democratic education aspect, among young people from peripheral or geographically isolated contexts. These objectives were achieved through a diverse set of activities: 1. Virtual workshops on democratic participation; 2. Local physical events (on the mainland and islands); 3. Mobility activity with young leaders and group facilitators, and ongoing support for the creation of policy proposals and local participation strategies. At the end of the project, we aimed not only to strengthen the individual skills of each young participant, but also to leave a lasting impact on their communities and local participation ecosystems. The young people involved were seen as multipliers, with the capacity to continue the work started, mobilize other young people, and advocate for youth-oriented public policies, even after the end of the project. Overall, we wanted to bring young people closer to politics by making public participation more accessible, meaningful, and effective for a generation that often feels invisible—and thus contribute to a more inclusive, participatory, and democratic society.
