Activism in Action (AIA) is an Erasmus+ project dedicated to empowering youth workers with the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to engage young people—especially those feeling disconnected or insecure—with activism. Through creative storytelling, practical resources, and collaborative training, AIA aims to build a new wave of confident young changemakers across Europe.
This two-year project focuses on promoting civic engagement and inclusive participation through youth work. By blending storytelling with practical learning tools like the AIA Guidebook and tailored training workshops, the project offers a structured path for youth workers to guide young people toward meaningful activism—be it in climate justice, human rights, or social inclusion.
