Click Democracy
Between July 15th and 24th, a group of young people from eight countries – Denmark, Bulgaria, Greece, Georgia, Ukraine, Jordan, Poland, and Bosnia and Herzegovina – met in Ganløse, just outside Copenhagen, for the Erasmus+ youth exchange Click Democracy. Over ten days, the group dug into what democracy actually looks like in a digital age, and how young people can show up for it, both online and in their own communities. What we set out to do: Hosted by Copenhagen Youth Network, the exchange was built around a few core goals: Building a shared understanding of democracy, participation, and civic engagement among young people today. Looking closely at digital citizenship, and what online tools can actually do for real-world civic action. Sharpening critical thinking skills, especially around spotting misinformation and digital manipulation. Creating space for genuine intercultural dialogue and exchange of perspectives. Helping participants turn what they learned into something actionable back home. WOLF was proud to send a group of Bulgarian participants to take part in this experience. In their own words: “For me it was very involving interesting and fulfilling. It was my first Erasmus+ project and i will for sure do it again.”– Borislav Georgiev “It was an incredible experience featuring an engaging and timely topic focused on digital citizenship, critical thinking, and active youth participation in modern democracy. The project brought together a unique group of people from 8 different countries, who exchanged fresh ideas and perspectives in a collaborative, supportive environment.” “It felt like time slowed down while everything around us became more alive. There was this strange mix of freedom, excitement, and connection, as if we had known each other much longer than we actually had. For a moment, we weren’t thinking about where we came from or where we were going — we were simply there, together. – Gergana Tomanova “This project was really meaningful for me, both because I grew personally and gained hands-on leadership experience.I was met with the task of leading two teams in parallel, each with its own objectives that had to be met. I had to learn on the go how to delegate tasks and follow up with task owners to make sure everything was achieved on time. […] The majority of participants agreed that the Bulgarian workshop had been the best one 🙂[…] Visiting the House of Europe in Copenhagen was another great highlight. We had the opportunity to hear directly from an EU official, and asking a few questions even helped get a good discussion going about topics that genuinely interest me.Exploring Copenhagen overall was extraordinary. The city was incredible, and I really appreciated the multiple study visits — they allowed us to explore while bonding and creating shared experiences, all set against the backdrop of world-class architecture and history.” – Tsvetan Check our blog for more inspiring stories like this one <3
