Happy international day of Intangible cultural heritage!🎉

📖Intangible cultural heritage or "Living heritage" includes oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, festive events, rituals, traditional craftsmanship, and knowledge systems passed down through generations.

We are celebrating this day to raise global awareness about living heritage and the need to protect these practices for future generations.

ANCE contributes to these efforts, through projects like Be Festive project ,which is funded by Erasmus+ Capacity building for Youth and focuses on youth empowerment, cross-cultural exchange, and community engagement through the exploration of traditional festivities and cultural heritage.

🇪🇺 REWIRE
Erasmus+ | Cooperation Partnerships in Youth

💻 Online Kick-off Meeting | 13 October 2026
Today, ANCE joined the online kick-off meeting of REWIRE – “Evidence-Based Response to Disinformation and Cyber-Hate in European Youth Digital Cultures”.

🤝 Partners presented the project’s work packages in detail, discussed their respective roles and agreed on the next steps for implementation.

🔎 Over the next two years, REWIRE will explore how misinformation and online hate spread and reinforce one another in young people’s digital lives. Through research, practical training resources for youth workers and a Youth Ambassador Programme, the project will strengthen youth organisations’ capacity to respond to these challenges and support young people’s responsible digital engagement.
Coordinated by UNITED for Intercultural Action, the partnership brings together digiQ – Digitálna inteligencia, the International Network Against Cyber Hate (INACH), Central European University (CEU), Athens Network of Collaborating Experts (ANCE), and Multi Kulti Collective.

✨ Stay tuned for our next steps towards more inclusive digital spaces!

📢On the 12th of October our interactive webinar took place, an event dedicated to promoting active citizenship, inclusion, and gender equality with a special focus on empowering women from second-generation migrant backgrounds.

📝An interesting discussion was developed, focusing on the current landscape of female political participation, and it was an opportunity to exchange key insights, and unpack the distinct obstacles women face when entering public life.

Our keynote speaker, Tilbe Gündüz, argued that civic participation begins with feeling safe and a sense of belonging. Drawing on her personal experience as a migrant building community in Athens, together with insights from her professional work and projects, she explored how underrepresented groups create chosen families and safe spaces. Her central message was that grassroots space-making is the foundation for turning vulnerability into real civic agency and active participation.

The interviews with migrant women that were broadcasted during the webinar gave further depth to the conversation on civic participation, political life, and European identity as well as inspiration on taking action.
