D-EFFECT in Odsherred

On September 11, the D-EFFECT consortium met at Campus Odsherred during the YDF Festival – a vibrant event dedicated to democracy that combines peer learning, dialogue, and active youth engagement.

Highlights of Day 1:

Overview of upcoming pilots – analysis of challenges, barriers, and opportunities for their successful implementation.

Strategic planning for the consortium's future directions.

“Broader Perspective” seminar – linking local outcomes to the European perspective.

Evaluation, dialogue, and debates – while young participants split into groups to experience and practice democracy in action.

On the second day of our visit to Odsherred, Denmark, on September 12, we had the amazing opportunity to be part of the Youth Democratic Festival 2025. Under the slogan “Diversity, Politics and People,” we talked about diversity, politics, and responsibility in the world of social media.

Debates, workshops, concerts, and joint discussions with young people from different countries showed how important it is to listen to each other and build a future based on democracy and mutual respect.

It was a day full of inspiration, new ideas, and energy for action!
