This playlist empowers you to take action in shaping inclusive, accessible, and participatory spaces for all young people.

Through hands-on activities, you’ll explore local and digital environments, identify barriers to participation, and develop creative solutions that foster engagement. You’ll gain practical advocacy, collaboration, and leadership skills while working to make public spaces, youth centres, and online communities more inclusive and welcoming.

By completing this playlist, you’ll develop valuable critical thinking, problem-solving, civic engagement, and teamwork skills. Your efforts will contribute to European Youth Goal #9: Space and Participation for All, ensuring that young people have meaningful opportunities to engage in their communities and democratic life.
