On May 8, 2024, ProCivitas High School students gathered for a unique Youth Hub session as part of the “Do You Know YOUR DEMOCRACY?” project, facilitated by Well Being LAB. This event provided an interactive and introspective space for students to explore democracy, international opportunities, and their own perspectives on Malmö.
In one memorable exercise, students participated in “The Malmö Heart,” a creative activity where they shared their feelings about their city and wrote messages to local decision-makers. This exercise sparked powerful reflections and gave the students a chance to express hopes for Malmö’s future. The session also included a guided meditation, encouraging students to connect with their surroundings and sense of self, accompanied by relaxing music from Austin Farwell.
Students left the workshop feeling inspired, with several showing interest in future international training opportunities through Erasmus+, though some were limited by age requirements. This session at ProCivitas highlights the Youth Hub’s mission to reach and engage Malmö’s youth from diverse backgrounds, fostering both civic awareness and a sense of community.
