ABOUT PROJECT
In Latvia, there is a very passive engagement in political processes among young people, caused by various factors, such as a lack of understanding of political processes, a perception that their voices have no influence, distrust of political parties that do not focus on issues important to them and often do not take their recommendations seriously. To achieve the project's objective, an information and education campaign will be implemented, which will both promote young people's activism and understanding of political processes, and ensure that young people's interests are defended at the level of public institutions.
PROJECT GOAL
The project will not only increase youth participation in the upcoming 14th Saeima elections, but also promote sustainable political education and youth interest representation. It will reduce misunderstandings and stereotypes among young people that they are not able to influence the political processes in the country, raise awareness about them and create opportunities to engage in shaping democracy and decision-making.
