The project “Vote for Peace of Mind” empowers young people in Vinkovci to take an active role in decision-making and to turn their needs—especially those related to mental health—into feasible proposals for the local community. The intended change is for youth participation to become visible, structured, and a standard practice in schools and in cooperation with the City. Objective:to strengthen young people’s capacities and opportunities for meaningful participation through participatory budgeting and public dialogue on mental health. Specific objectives:(1) to train 21 youth ambassadors from three schools to facilitate discussions, provide peer support, and develop project proposals; (2) to establish, together with the City, participatory budgeting model for young people; (3) to engage a wider group of students through workshops, “Spikaonice”, and voting; (4) to implement at least one selected student-led community project; and (5) to reduce stigma and enable replication of the model
