Objectives

The project aims to empower young people with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities needed to actively participate in decision-making processes, particularly through participatory budgeting. By equipping youth with practical tools and fostering direct engagement with policymakers, we seek to create a lasting culture of youth-led civic participation. This initiative will strengthen young people's ability to influence local governance, ensuring their ideas and perspectives contribute to shaping their communities. The ultimate goal is to transform youth from passive observers into active changemakers who drive meaningful societal improvements. The main objectives are: Implement a training course for youth leaders on participatory budgeting Support local youth in three countries (e.g., Germany, Slovakia, Armenia) to implement at least six projects using participatory budgeting fundes of their already existing local communities Organize public awareness events to educate young people
