Countries
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.
International Activities
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.
