The Training Course refers to the social and democratic contract between citizens and society: rights come with responsibilities, participation strengthens democracy, and active involvement shapes communities. Through this training course, youth workers will explore how to translate democratic values into practical, accessible learning experiences for young people.

The main objectives:

• To strengthen youth workers’ understanding of democratic participation, voting awareness, and civic responsibility.
• To equip participants with non-formal education methods for teaching democratic values to young people from early teenage years.
• To increase awareness of EU Youth Goals, European citizenship, equal rights, and opportunities within the European Union.
• To challenge limiting mentalities inherited from past political systems and encourage empowerment, freedom of expression, and participation.
• To promote environmentally responsible practices within youth work and project implementation.

Activities will include:

• Interactive workshops on democracy, participation, and the social contract
• Simulations and role-plays related to elections, decision-making, and civic dialogue
• Group discussions on historical and cultural barriers to democratic involvement
• Digital and virtual learning sessions using online platforms and collaborative tools
• Exchange of good practices between youth workers from different countries
• Practical labs for designing youth activities focused on democratic participation.
