Organisation: Mouth That Roars

Project grant approved: €13400

The aim is to increase the agency of marginalised young people aged 16-26 years by deepening their awareness of, and trust in democratic institutions and processes through a programme of experiential learning and the use of creative film and media tools. The project will engage 10 young people in a series of 6 workshops to learn about democratic processes and to develop social media content which will be compiled in a “digital media campaign webpack”, which is the main project output. The webpack should be further promoted to local youth groups, and it should contain workshop plans, campaign videos, links to useful resources. In the project local context there is a lack of civil space for young people, little access to political education and a general democratic backsliding.
