Y-AGORA: youth participation and local democracy

Y-AGORA — Youth Agoras: Bridging Generations and Empowering Citizenship Across Europe — is an Erasmus+ capacity-building project connecting partners in Albania, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia. Its activities support youth participation through non-formal learning, dialogue and local civic action.

International training in Belgrade, 1–4 June 2026

Youth workers, educators and youth leaders explored democracy, inclusion, communication, empathy, media literacy, collective action and mentoring. Activities included a Local Youth Agora simulation, stakeholder mapping and Forum Theatre, preparing participants to support Local Y-Agoras.

Local Y-Agora Albania

In June 2026, Youth4Society invited nine young people aged 18–30 living in Albania to apply to the Local Y-Agora. The call described research, surveys, focus groups, dialogue with stakeholders and development of a Local Action Plan. The application deadline was 5 July 2026; this call is now closed.

Community research

In September 2026, the project published factsheets presenting community research findings from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia. They explored young people’s participation, barriers to engagement and examples of local practice.

Path to Interfaith Dialogue — 3–9 February 2010

Archived training-course announcement.

This course was planned in Albania for 30 youth leaders and youth workers from the European Union, Turkey, the Euro-Mediterranean region, South-East Europe and the Caucasus. It aimed to promote tolerance and mutual understanding between young people from different communities and religions.

The programme focused on the importance of dialogue in multicultural and multireligious communities. Participants’ varied backgrounds were intended to create opportunities to exchange ideas and experiences, enriching learning for both participants and trainers.

Through non-formal learning, equality and human-rights education, the course aimed to deepen understanding of religious diversity and develop problem-solving skills for responding to prejudice, stereotypes and racism.
