The main privilege of democracy is the right of citizens to participate in decision and policy-making processes, as well as to actively contribute to the improvement and building of the communities in which we live. However, many people, especially young people, are apathetic towards politics, do not vote, are not interested in the events around them, and are not active in their community at all. In addition, young people and the whole society, under the influence of several crises, are increasingly inclined to believe in conspiracy theories and hoaxes, which largely undermine the long-built pillars of democracy in Europe.<\/p>

Growing Euroscepticism, supported by a lack of awareness of the importance and role of the European Union, threatens the stability of the entire EU. Moreover, societies are increasingly polarised. How to fight all this? By improving our knowledge in the field of the importance of active participation at the local, national, and European levels, by understanding democratic values such as freedom, equality, solidarity, or justice and by becoming familiar with various offline and online tools that facilitate democratic political and civic participation of all kinds.<\/p>

The most proven approach in the field of youth participation is bottom-up, thanks to which young people gain a sense of the community which they are a part of, which gradually arouses in them a natural interest in political participation. The goal of this training was to increase the competences of youth workers in several areas related to the concept of active participation which include, for example, also volunteering and youth advocacy. In this way, European Dialogue contributes to a better understanding and use of our democratic rights and responsibilities, which can gradually contribute to improving the quality of democracy and life throughout Europe.<\/p>

This non-formal learning activity was part of the Erasmus+ Accredited projects in the field of youth. Information about European Dialogue’s accreditation is also available on the <\/span>Erasmus+ Dissemination Platform<\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>
