🌍 Young Observers for Inclusive Democracy
Are you a young civic leader from Armenia, Moldova or Ukraine interested in democracy, human rights, inclusion and meaningful civic participation?
Join us for a 3-day regional seminar in Yerevan, Armenia, bringing together 12 young people from across the region to learn, exchange experiences and create practical ideas for more inclusive democratic participation.
📅 7–9 November 2026
📍 Yerevan, Armenia
👥 Age: 18–35
💬 Working language: English, with language support available if needed
During the seminar, we will explore:
→ election observation and democratic oversight
→ accessible and inclusive elections
→ media literacy and disinformation
→ youth participation, communication and advocacy
→ cross-border cooperation and civic action
The programme will include expert sessions, peer learning, practical exercises, simulations and a study visit.
And it doesn’t end with the seminar! Participants will continue working together throughout November, contributing to a regional campaign and sharing what they learn with their communities.
♿ Young people with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply. Travel, accommodation, meals and accessibility-related costs are covered.
You don’t need to be an election expert or have years of activism experience. We are looking for curious, engaged young people who want to learn and contribute.
📌 Application deadline: 7 October 2026
