The YouthSOFTPOWER project addresses the need to equip disadvantaged youth with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to engage in global and European issues. By promoting active citizenship, inclusion, and European values, the project enhances participants’ communication, leadership, and empathy, fostering a stronger sense of solidarity and European identity. Activities include needs assessments through surveys and focus groups, development of multilingual training tools such as advocacy guides, campaign templates, podcasts, and a dedicated educational website, as well as pilot testing via training sessions and bootcamps.

The project’s results are designed to empower youth to become active global citizens capable of advocating for social justice and equality. Expected outcomes include improved soft skills, youth-led podcasts, webinars, and advocacy campaigns, as well as comprehensive online resources on ODA, SDGs, and European values. Long-term impacts include sustained youth engagement, enhanced global awareness, and a strengthened culture of advocacy and inclusion, creating lasting benefits for participants, communities, and wider European networks.
