Citizenship in Action

Citizenship in Action is a collaborative partnership in youth project, across five countries, empowering young people through creative tools like photography and videography. These mediums foster initiative and can be a very valuable tool in the promotion of youth involvement in societal issues. Participants have learned camera skills and used non-formal education to express their ideas, needs, and opinions effectively. Youth workers also enhanced their abilities to support and facilitate engaging activities, not only in photography and videography but also in promoting active participation and involvement in community life.

Within Citizenship in Action, we organized 3 mobility activities, two training courses, about photography and videography, and one blended mobility for youth, aimed at creating the safe space for international collaboration and creative expression of young people. You can read more about each of these activities below.

In every country we organized local activities for dissemination and exploitation of results from the training courses. Moreover, young people, with the support of youth workers, promoted active citizenship campaigns in each country, using non-formal methods of education. Below you can see photos of these activities.

These are some of the results created by participants during this project. Using non-formal methods young people engaged in ways to tackle societal issues they face in the community using photography and videography.
