To foster Democracy in the Danube Countries
A Project by ILEU e.V.
With the project “Fit for Participation – Strengthening Democracy in Europe,” funded by the State Ministry of Baden-Württemberg, we offer young people (ages 16–25) and older adults the opportunity to reflect on civic participation, democratic engagement and take action together. Explore innovative ways to enhance media literacy, critical thinking and the fight against disinformation — all while building a peaceful, united European community.
