By implementing the project PROACT(ing) – Acting Pro Human Rights, we aimed to create a meaningful youth participation pathway through which young people could better understand Human Rights, relate them to their daily lives, and transform this learning into concrete action. The starting point of the project was the awareness that many young people have only a superficial understanding of Human Rights, often seeing them as abstract concepts, disconnected from their everyday reality and from their capacity to act. At the same time, we identified the need to address topics such as disinformation, violence, discrimination, privacy, equality, and participation, which directly impact young people's lives and how they position themselves within school, community, and society. This need was reflected in the initial sessions, which aimed to tackle the general lack of knowledge about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the undervaluation of these rights, and the limited active participation of young people. Therefore, the main objective of the project was: O1. To empower young people to become active agents in the promotion and protection of Human Rights by strengthening their knowledge, critical awareness, and civic participation, in order to prevent intolerance, challenge extremist narratives, and contribute to a more just, inclusive, and democratic society. More specifically, the project aimed to achieve the following objectives: 1.Develop critical and analytical skills One of the main focuses was to support young people in identifying and analysing hate speech, disinformation, and extremist narratives, enhancing their ability to question, reflect, and take informed positions. 2.Promote applied Human Rights education The project went beyond a theoretical approach by addressing Human Rights through concrete and relatable topics such as equality, justice, privacy, participation, and social inclusion, enabling better understanding and ownership of the content. 3.Encourage active and democratic participation Another key objective was to strengthen young people’s role as agents of change, encouraging their participation in democratic processes, reflection on policies, and the development of solutions to identified challenges. 4.Create a network of youth engagement and support The project fostered collaboration among young people, promoting teamwork, exchange of experiences, and the creation of initiatives with impact in the local community, reinforcing a sense of belonging and social responsibility. 5.Empower young people for action and community engagement Through participatory and non-formal education methodologies, young people were involved in all stages of the process — from preparation to implementation and evaluation — taking an active role in facilitating activities, producing content, and disseminating results. 6.Produce tangible results with social impact The project resulted in concrete outputs such as the audio series “Voices for Human Rights”, awareness-raising campaigns, and a Youth Recommendation Letter, transforming learning into visible and meaningful actions within the community. 7.Promote inclusion and equal participation Special attention was given to the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities, ensuring adapted activities, accessible methodologies, and a safe and inclusive environment for all participants. In summary, the project aimed to inform, raise awareness, empower, and mobilise young people around Human Rights, creating a pathway where learning meant participating, creating, proposing, and acting. The goal was not only to talk about Human Rights, but to experience them in practice, through a participatory methodology adapted to young people’s realities and focused on concrete outcomes. This approach contributed to a real impact on participants, the school, and the way young people engage with rights, justice, and citizenship.
