📢 Exciting news!
We are happy to announce the launch of a new project, "Nordic-Baltic Youth Digital Resilience Initiative", supported by Prosperous Future - 4th Round of the Application Programme for Civil Society Cooperation in the Region.
The project started on 1 June 2026 and will continue until September 2027.
Together with our partners, Kūrybinių technologijų akademija bit&Byte from Lithuania (project coordinator) and Eesti People to People from Estonia, we will work to strengthen young people's digital resilience, media literacy, critical thinking, safe online behaviour, and understanding of emerging technologies.
At a time when young people face increasing challenges related to disinformation, online safety, and access to digital skills, this project will create opportunities for learning, cooperation, and sharing good practices across the Nordic-Baltic region.
We look forward to sharing our activities and results with you throughout the project. Stay tuned! 💙

We recently held the Career Compass roundtable with education providers, integration specialists, labour organisations, city representatives and other stakeholders 🤝

We had a passionate and active discussion while validating our policy report and recommendations 📄 We talked about the challenges young migrants and refugees face when getting stuck in low-skilled jobs, and the very sensitive situation of international students and their career opportunities 🎓💼

We believe in change — and this is just the first step ✨
