D-EFFECT Project and Youth Democracy Festivals Featured on the Official EUSBSR Website!

Our activities are gaining international visibility! An article highlighting the D-EFFECT project, the Youth Democracy Festivals (YDF), and the methodology we have developed to engage young people in democratic processes has been published on the official website of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR).

This is an important recognition for our Association and an excellent opportunity to promote our activities, including the Youth Democracy Festival in Elbląg, across the entire Baltic Sea Region. The publication is particularly significant given the D-EFFECT project's status as an Operation of Strategic Importance (OSI) under the Interreg South Baltic Programme.

The D-EFFECT project directly contributes to the implementation of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region in the field of education – Policy Area Education, Action 1: "Fostering inclusive education to prepare young people for future challenges".

Through activities implemented at both local and international levels, the project creates opportunities for young people to develop civic competences, engage in intergenerational dialogue, and participate in public decision-making.

The recognition of our activities on the official EUSBSR website is an important step in their international dissemination, as well as in promoting the Youth Democracy Festival methodology as a tool for strengthening youth participation in public life.

We encourage you to read the article "Youth Democracy Festivals empower youth as the future of democracy":
