Discover ADROIT — an Erasmus+ project advancing digital resilience and inclusive civic engagement for democratic participation! Bringing together partners from France, Greece, Finland, Slovenia & Czechia, we're building tools, training, and resources to help adult learners and educators navigate digital democracy, tackle misinformation, and actively engage in civic life. 🗳️💻 Curious to learn more? Visit our website and follow our journey 👉 https://adroit-project.eu/

We are currently preparing a series of ADROIT learning materials to support stronger digital resilience and more inclusive civic participation.

These materials will include PowerPoint presentations, podcasts, reels, and other engaging learning resources designed to make key civic topics more accessible, practical, and relevant for adult learners and educators. Across these materials, we will explore themes such as verification habits and fact-checking basics, manipulation and AI/visual misinformation, civic dialogue and constructive disagreement, participation pathways in real life, and digital participation tools and safety. The aim is to create formats that are clear, engaging, and easy to use in real learning and community settings.

Follow our journey and discover new resources coming soon.

We have been testing and developing our Common Ground Finnish EDU-LARP game addressing the topic of migration and the experience of displacement that we will soon be playing in the Playtest Seminar in Helsinki, Finland with all the partners participating. 🇫🇮🇵🇱🇷🇴

🌍 Shared space, different perspectives

The Common Ground project focuses on creating active, engaging educational tools that help young people (and those working with young people) better understand different perspectives on migration.

Through edu-LARP, we want to:
🧭 experience different points of view
💬 open up space for reflection and dialogue
🤝 build understanding between indigenous and migrant youth
🇪🇺 talk about common European values in practice, not just in theory

🇪🇺 "Common Ground - using Edu-LARP as methodology of discussing youth displacement and migration" is financed by the European Union

💡The CivicDesign4Her project uses an innovative, learner-centred methodology that combines systemic design, participatory learning, and Living Lab processes to empower women in civic engagement.
🤝Participants use interactive learning tools such as design thinking, stakeholder mapping, collaborative workshops, and reflection activities to identify community challenges and co-create practical solutions.
Through a systemic design approach, learners explore the connections between social, economic, and community issues, enabling them to develop sustainable and inclusive responses rather than focusing on isolated problems.
📍The Living Lab methodology encourages collaboration among citizens, local authorities, and organisations to co-design, test, and improve solutions in real-life settings through exploration, co-creation, experimentation, and evaluation.
❗Overall, this methodology promotes active participation, innovation, teamwork, and problem-solving, helping participants develop the skills and confidence needed to contribute to their communities and support inclusive civic development.

We are excited to share that the ADROIT Civic Engagement Toolkit is currently in preparation.

This practical, ready-to-use toolkit is being developed for facilitators, educators, municipalities, and community leaders who want to strengthen digital resilience and inclusive civic participation. It brings together five key areas: verification habits and fact-checking, manipulation and AI/visual misinformation, civic dialogue and constructive disagreement, participation pathways in real life, and e-democracy in practice. The toolkit is designed as a hands-on resource, with ready-to-run workshops, adaptable materials, and practical guidance for working with adult learners in different community contexts.

Stay tuned — more soon from the ADROIT project.

🚀 MV International organised the event "Launching Conference for Europe ReDefined" of the project "Citizens Councils for European Integration, AI in Future Identity, and Human-Centred Digital Citizenship" – FUTURENTITY, a Citizens' Engagement and Participation project co-funded by the CERV Programme of the European Union, held online on the 1st of July 2026.

🌍 In the framework of the FUTURENTITY project, representatives from the 8 partner countries – Romania, Greece, the Netherlands, Finland, Slovenia, Denmark, France and Italy – came together in a dynamic hybrid setting, bringing citizens, civil society, digital experts, local authorities and EU representatives together over two days.

🎤 The event opened with a welcome and a presentation of the project, followed by an introduction to all 8 consortium partners from across Europe. It featured two keynote speeches – one on AI Evolution and one on Digital Storytelling – complemented by breakout discussion groups built around the project's three pillars, and closed with a formal introduction to the Citizens' Councils and an open live Q&A with the speakers, inviting participants to sign up and take part in the project's full life cycle.

👥 The conference brought together 120 participants online, with at least 50% identifying as women or gender-diverse, in line with EU values of equality and representation. It successfully engaged a wide range of target groups: citizens of all ages and genders, young people aged 18–35 (including students and first-time voters), migrant and minority communities, civic educators and civil society actors working on inclusion, digital rights and youth empowerment, local authorities and municipal leaders active in digital innovation and citizen services, as well as EU and regional policymakers interested in grassroots consultation and future policy frameworks.

The event raised strong awareness of the project's mission and the EU values it promotes, achieved solid participation from target groups – especially underrepresented communities – and marked the launch of citizen involvement through sign-ups for the Councils and co-creation labs.

💡 FUTURENTITY aims to build a more human-centred, rights-based and participatory digital citizenship across Europe, helping citizens, civil society organisations, local authorities, educators, youth representatives and policymakers understand and shape the future of digital identity, rights and democratic participation in the EU.
