National Dialogue Recap 🤩🗣

🗓 During February and March, ESN Bulgaria organised and supported activities from the National Phase of the Speak Out project. The goal was to involve local youth in discussing national policies with local institutions and national policymakers.

🟣 During our Preparation phase in Gabrovo, our participants were introduced and practiced the “Youth Check” methodology for youth involvement.
This activity was supported by the Youth Center in Gabrovo.

🟢 During our main phase, ESN Bulgaria partnered with the National Youth Forum and International Youth Center Pernik to involve youth workers and volunteers from the country in National Youth Dialogue with national institutions

👉 The used methods were interactive TEDx style sessions, facilitated group work for writing policy proposals and roundtable with national institutions.

🗣 As a result, local youth from all over the country practiced their collaboration, research and policy-writing techniques as well as advocacy with institutions.

We asked young people where the power of democracy lies.

For democracy to be strong and inclusive, it is crucial that young people feel empowered to engage, participate, question, and take action in their communities.

That’s why projects like matter: they turn these values into lived experience through local trainings, dialogue, and youth-led action that builds confidence, challenges stereotypes, and strengthens active citizenship.
