Engage & Report (ERASMUS+) project in Bologna The project "Engage & Report" in Bologna aimed at increasing young people's active participation in the EU elections by developing participatory tools and methodologies that empower the participants to become youth engagers and youth reporters in their local communities. Through research and in-depth exploration, the participants were able to not only produce impactful content for the upcoming EU elections, but also spread their knowledge with others and start important conversations. Participants will actively keep working on their projects in order to achieve important long-term results. We are very thankful to have realized this project together with with organising and participating partners Eurobox ETS and Ayuntamiento de Alzira. Youth will move it (Erasmus+ project) in Armenia At the "Youth will move it" project in Armenia, participants from Armenia, Greece, Italy, Spain and Slovakia learned about media literacy, journalism, storytelling, human rights, citizenship and democracy topics. The project aimed to enhance the understanding of young media makers' needs beyond the EU borders and develop reporting competencies, especially in response to the increasing demands of current conflicts, wars and geopolitical transformation. A big thank you to our organising and participating partner organisations INEDNET, Infinity Greece, SCAMBIEUROPEI, European Dialogue and Universitat Ramon Llull Fundacio.
