ELIX is re-publishing the Call for participants to the D.E.M.O. (Democracy, Elections, Mentorship, Organizing) project organised by European Alternatives. European Alternatives works to promote democracy, equality and culture beyond the nation-state and imagine, demand and enact alternatives for a viable future.
The “D.E.M.O.” programme aims at encouraging and facilitating the active engagement of a wide network of European citizens through both training & hands-on action, in the context of the upcoming 2024 European Elections. We just launched the open call to identify and select 50 change-makers from at least 8 countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Greece, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Sweden and others) to participate in the D.E.M.O. programme. Those selected change-makers will receive the necessary tools to re-imagine democracy in their local communities and to encourage democratic participation.
The project will achieve this through a series of eight training sessions: 2 residential and 6 online, accompanied by additional informal skill-sharing sessions, peer-to-peer exchange, mentorship sessions, etc. After the training process, the participants will be encouraged to implement two activities in their local communities that engage other people, based on the skills acquired through the content of the training sessions.
OPEN FOR:
- 50 change-makers;
- no specific age requirement;
- citizens or residents of the following countries (but not limited to): Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Greece, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Sweden;
- people who want to expand their skills in: community organizing, facilitation, political gatherings, political artistic creation, podcast production, video production.
HOW AND WHEN TO APPLY:
Applications are open until 30.06.2023!
