🚀 From caring about an issue to taking action, what does civic participation look like in everyday life?

After exploring how we navigate information and engage in constructive dialogue, the ADROIT Civic Engagement Toolkit moves to the next step: participation in practice. 🗣️➡️🌍

The final two chapters explore how citizens can become more actively involved, both offline and online:
🛤️ Chapter 4: From Concern to Action: Participation Pathways in Real Life

How can concern about an issue become meaningful action?
This chapter explores practical ways people can participate in the decisions and initiatives that shape their communities.
💻 Chapter 5: E-Democracy in Practice: Digital Participation Tools and Digital Safety

Digital spaces are increasingly part of civic life. This chapter explores ways to participate online while developing the awareness and skills needed to do so confidently and safely.

Together, all five chapters create a learning pathway that moves from critically navigating information ➡️ engaging in dialogue ➡️ participating in democratic life.

This reflects ADROIT’s broader goal of strengthening civic knowledge and digital democracy skills, while creating accessible resources that support participation and inclusion.

A big thank you to our partners PYLON ONE 🇬🇷 and GLAFKA 🇨🇿 for authoring these chapters. Both organisations are part of the six-partner ADROIT consortium.

Civic Design Starts Here ✨

Taking part in civic life starts with having the knowledge, tools and space to participate.

That idea sits at the heart of CivicDesign4HER.

CivicDesign4HER is an Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership in Adult Education that supports women migrants in actively participating in civic life through systemic design, civic literacy and co-creation.

The project brings together four connected areas: inclusion and gender equality, civic participation and democracy, systemic and design thinking, and empowerment and co-creation.

Its goals include strengthening civic literacy and democratic participation, supporting women migrants as agents of change in their communities, and helping adult educators build competences in systemic design and civic education.

CivicDesign4HER will also establish inclusive local learning spaces, or Living Labs, designed to support participation and co-creation.

✨The FUTURENTITY seminar lab took place in Thessaloniki on the 24/25th of August.
Participants took part in introductory sessions on AI and digital identity, with a focus on rights, risks, and opportunities.

📣The topics covered were:

🔹Civic Input Workshop on Understanding AI, Inclusion, and Identity
Participants explored how AI intersects with European values, belonging, and inclusion through visual tools and collaborative mapping.

🔹Exploring Identity in a Digital Europe
Participants shared personal stories and took part in small-group dialogues, reflecting on their lived experiences of identity, difference, and civic participation in digital contexts.

🔹“The Europe We Belong To”
Creative exercises, including drawing, writing, and digital mood boards, helped participants express their visions of what “being European” could mean in an AI-shaped future.

🔹Citizen Voice Roundtable
The sessions were designed with accessibility and multilingualism in mind, ensuring active participation across different age groups, backgrounds, and education levels.

💡 The activities contributed to increased citizen awareness of how AI intersects with personal and civic identity, strengthened local networks around digital citizenship and EU engagement, and empowered participants to act as active contributors to Europe’s digital future.

🌍 We are developing a program that will help young people be more resilient to disinformation🌍
Together with coordinator Kurianti visuomenė asociacija from Lithuania and Sēlijas Salas from Latvia, we are implementing the project “Baltic–Nordic cooperation to build youth resilience to disinformation” funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers.

Currently, our team, together with experts, is developing a practical
“Youth Resilience Lab” program for senior school students.

📚 We plan to consist of 10 lessons – 5 thematic modules of 2 lessons each, in which young people will not only listen to theory, but also learn in practice:
🔹 recognize disinformation and information manipulation;
🔹 understand how emotions affect our reaction to information;
🔹 critically evaluate the content seen on social networks;
🔹 better understand the influence of algorithms on our information environment;
🔹 recognize content created and manipulated by artificial intelligence;
🔹 make more informed decisions in the information space.

A large part of the program will consist of practical tasks, situational analysis, simulations, discussions and reflection. We want this to be not another lecture about “fake news”, but a program in which a young person would experience for themselves how information manipulation works and learn to recognize it.

It is especially important for us that the developed methodology is adapted to the reality of youth – social networks and information challenges that young people face every day.

Follow our news – in the coming months we will share how the “Youth Resilience Lab” program is born and who is developing it.

🌍 Kuriame programą, kuri padės jaunimui būti atsparesniam dezinformacijai🌍

Kartu su partneriais iš Suomijos Learning for Integration ry ir Latvijos Sēlijas Salas įgyvendiname Šiaurės ministrų tarybos finansuojamą projektą „Baltic–Nordic cooperation to build youth resilience to disinformation“.

Šiuo metu mūsų komanda kartu su ekspertais kuria praktinę „Youth Resilience Lab“ programą vyresniųjų klasių mokiniams.

📚 Programą planuojame sudaryti iš 10 pamokų – 5 teminių modulių po 2 pamokas, kuriuose jaunimas ne tik klausysis teorijos, bet ir praktiškai mokysis:

🔹 atpažinti dezinformaciją ir manipuliaciją informacija;
🔹 suprasti, kaip emocijos veikia mūsų reakciją į informaciją;
🔹 kritiškai vertinti socialiniuose tinkluose matomą turinį;
🔹 geriau suprasti algoritmų įtaką mūsų informacinei aplinkai;
🔹 atpažinti dirbtinio intelekto kuriamą ir manipuliuojamą turinį;
🔹 priimti labiau pagrįstus sprendimus informacinėje erdvėje.

Didelę programos dalį sudarys praktinės užduotys, situacijų analizė, simuliacijos, diskusijos ir refleksija. Norime, kad tai būtų ne dar viena paskaita apie „netikras naujienas“, o programa, kurioje jaunas žmogus pats patirtų, kaip veikia informacinė manipuliacija ir išmoktų ją atpažinti.

🏫 2026–2027 mokslo metais ieškosime trijų Šalčininkų rajono švietimo įstaigų, kurios norėtų prisijungti prie projekto ir kartu su mumis pirmosios išbandyti sukurtą programą.

Šiose mokyklose vesime pirmuosius mokymus, rinksime mokinių ir mokytojų grįžtamąjį ryšį ir, remdamiesi jų patirtimi, tobulinsime programą.

Mums ypač svarbu, kad kuriama metodika būtų pritaikyta jaunimo realybei – socialiniams tinklams ir informaciniams iššūkiams, su kuriais jauni žmonės susiduria kiekvieną dieną.

📢 Apie galimybę mokykloms prisijungti prie pilotavimo paskelbsime atskirai.

Sekite mūsų naujienas – artimiausiais mėnesiais dalinsimės tuo, kaip gimsta „Youth Resilience Lab“ programa ir kas ją kuria.

Tell me culture (Nordplus Horizontal) project Goal: To provide innovative language learning methods while improving tourism offer, at the same time enhancing interest in their own region’s and countries history, thus paying more attention to less known places in regions.

The partners from Latvia, Estonia and Finland visited Bromölla in Sweden and had a 3-day Mobility meeting in June 2026. The host B-Creative Association organised cultural activities and the group tested two local games developed in the project, one in the area of Bromölla and one in Sölvesborg. The participants had a great time in sunny Sweden and look forward to the last activities of the project ☀️

🌍 Local voices shaping more inclusive civic participation!

As part of the CivicDesign4HER project, the partners brought together experts in migration, social inclusion and community support to evaluate the learning scenarios developed within WP2.

📍The consultation provided valuable insights into how the project’s learning activities can better respond to the realities, experiences and needs of migrant and refugee women in the participating countries.

💡 Experts highlighted the strong potential of the learning scenarios to:
✨ empower women through participatory and experiential learning
✨ build confidence and encourage meaningful civic engagement
✨ connect reflection with practical civic action
✨ promote inclusion, accessibility and collaborative learning

🎯Special attention was given to the evaluation of the learning scenarios developed by the organizations.
💡The experts also identified important ways to strengthen the learning experience, including greater local contextualisation, multilingual support, culturally sensitive facilitation, storytelling, and the involvement of migrant women as role models.

❗Their feedback will now contribute to refining the learning scenarios and ensuring that the CivicDesign4HER approach remains both transnationally coherent and locally meaningful.

🤝 Because meaningful civic participation starts by listening to lived experiences and designing learning opportunities with communities, not just for them.
