In April, Carousel 8 established a Youth Leader’s hub in the space of the local municipality in Zagreb. Our hub is a dedicated space where young individuals gather to develop leadership skills, learn about democratic processes, and engage in social initiatives.
Youth Leader’s Hub is implemented as part of the EYT “Do you know your democracy?” project, co-financed by the Europan Union and implemented with our partners from Estonia, North Macedonia, France, and Sweden.
The first workshop of the Youth Leaders’ Hubs in Zagreb began with activities that helped participants get to know each other. They introduced themselves using associative cards and learned about the project “Do you know Your Democracy?”, and its goals and activities.
Participants shared their views on democracy through interactive exercises and explored what democracy means to them by choosing and explaining photos that represented their views. Participants also learned about the history of democracy and different levels of youth participation in decision-making through Hart’s Ladder of Participation, emphasising genuine involvement.
