Vox Iuventutis

The Vox Iuventutis (The Voice of Youth) is a 14 month-long program series with the aim of strengthening public commitment and active participation, increasing social consciousness and strengthening opinion-shaping among young people. The project is implemented by 4 organisations. The 20 youngsters involved in the project work on different issues in the framework of seminars by using non-formal learning methods. These issues are such as: the role of municipalities, youth interest validation, the effect of media on consumption, media consciousness and the space of youth voice. During the seminars they have discussions, consultations, interviews with several decision makers, advisors, public actors on issues In which they are interested. They disseminate the result through their own youth channels to their peers. The young participants develop their democratic skills in a camp where they also prepare for a youth festival where they operate a Democracy Tent, full of playful activities on democracy to involve more youngsters. They also set up a public-life stage where the youngsters can address Romanian, Hungarian and EU politicians, decision makers on different youth policy questions. Several voluntary activities are also linked to the project.
