Objectives

With this project we want to empower young people in Graz and Skopje to become active citizens who can shape the future of their cities. Many of them are school dropouts or come from disadvantaged backgrounds, and often feel that their voices do not matter in politics or urban planning. Through cycling, a tool that is accessible, healthy, and sustainable, we help them gain confidence, learn new skills, and connect their daily experiences with local decision-making. Main objectives: To train young people to identify mobility and safety problems in their cities and to transform these into concrete proposals for local authorities. To strengthen youth participation by giving them direct experience with municipal structures, public hearings, and advocacy. To connect young people from Austria and North Macedonia in a cross-border learning journey, encouraging intercultural dialogue and solidarity. To promote cycling as a sustainable transport form for inclusion, health and civic engagement
