The primary focus of the project is to empower youth workers and youth leaders from various EU and non-EU countries to effectively replicate in their local communities the "Educate for Democracy" programme, and to thus create a larger international network of trainers and peer educators of this educational programme focused on citizenship. The “Educate for Democracy” training programme is focused on citizenship education, be it in a formal or a non-formal learning environment, bringing the concept, ideas and values of democracy closer to young people. In the XXI century, the true meaning of democracy and citizenship is threatened by old and new fears, lack of social bonds and solidarity, environmental challenges, and a generalised sense of insecurity. Youth work has a key role in ensuring the empowerment of young people, offering them the opportunity to develop skills and competencies that would allow them to understand the dynamics behind the democratic processes, to practice citizenship, to be active in their community, not just every 4 or 5 years casting a ballot, but every and each day of their life. The project objectives are: - Empower youth workers with knowledge and tools to address issues like democracy, active citizenship, and critical thinking with young people in a non-formal education setting - Train youth workers and youth leaders from municipalities and civil-society organisations to be the multipliers of the "Educate for Democracy" programme that serves as a valuable resource for youth workers seeking to empower young people to become active and engaged citizens, fostering a culture of democracy, participation, and social responsibility among the next generation - Raise awareness among youth workers about the fragility of democracy and the importance of nurturing a sense of active citizenship and encouraging democratic engagement among youth in their local communities - Foster collaboration and networking among youth workers from EU and non-EU countries, facilitating the exchange of best practices and experiences in promoting democracy and active citizenship among young people - Enhance intercultural understanding and tolerance, promoting a shared sense of European identity and unity
