Collection of best practices: Cultural activities as a driver for democracy, volunteering and citizens participation
Tools and methods to foster citizens’ engagement “Skills for Democracy”
Training Curriculum
Fostering civic engagement is not just about education, it is a dynamic process that requires trust, dialogue, and consistent local efforts. This curriculum shows that meaningful participation starts with listening, continues through dialogue, and leads to shared responsibility for our future.
The Street Debate methodology and the related practices described here are accessible and effective tools for building democratic understanding and empowering marginalized voices. Whether by creating policy recommendations based on public discussions, working with institutional partners, or ensuring grassroots initiatives continue over time, participants are encouraged to take their knowledge beyond the training setting and into everyday civic areas.
Ultimately, this curriculum aims to help create a Europe where all citizens, no matter their age, background, or experience, have the chance and ability to influence decisions that impact their lives. By investing in inclusive, community-led engagement, we take an important step toward building a more participatory, fair, and resilient democracy.
NOT SKIP
This document presents the Final Recommendations of the NOT SKIP project, developed through a structured and participatory process involving citizens, civil society organisations, educational institutions and local authorities mainly from the six EU partner organizations (IT, RO, PT, LT, GR, PL). The recommendations originate from the Conference on the Future of Europe (2021) and were subsequently discussed, expanded and contextualised through the implemented Local Awareness Raising Campaigns organised by the NOT SKIP partner organisations.
The recommendations are grounded in direct citizens’ contributions and reflect the perspectives of young people, adults and seniors from urban, rural and peripheral areas.
629 citizens shared with us their views and opinions. Over 54% of them being represented by young people, reflecting the strong involvement of youth.
The analysis of the Street Debates, Round Tables implemented within the NOT SKIP project highlights a set of recurring and interconnected challenges affecting democratic participation across Europe.
