Together for Dialogue

The project aims to strengthen the quality of civic participation and dialogue between young people and decision-makers by developing and applying innovative methodologies and tools for assessing current needs and providing tailored, individualised support focused on key competency development. By combining structured competence assessment with practical guidance and engaging digital formats, the project helps young people better understand their role in civic life, build confidence, and participate more effectively in real decision-making processes.

The consortium will deliver three core results. First, a Competence Assessment tool (PR1): a matrix-based competence map that measures young people’s civic involvement competencies on a four-level scale, linking each competency to specific forms of civic activity. Second, an Online Guidebook (PR2): a methodological resource that explains how to apply individual forms of civic participation and provides a curated set of methods, ranked by complexity and aligned with the competence framework, supported by interactive demonstrations of selected tools in practice. Third, Supporting Materials (PR3): a package of digital resources that makes competence-building accessible and motivating, including an educational game, targeted training courses (e-learning and webinars), short-form content such as Instagram stories and TikToks showcasing different civic activities, and additional engagement elements like challenges and competitions.
