nyh noortevahetus youth exchange estonia democratization

Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for participants for a Youth Exchange called “Democratization by Digitalization” which will take place from the 30^th of April until the 7^th of May 2023 in Paikuse (Pärnu), Estonia.

The project “Democratization by Digitalization” is a youth exchange program that will bring together 33 young people from Turkey, Estonia, North Macedonia and Lithuania in Estonia and aims to change the outlook on democracy by teaching the importance of obtaining accurate information and active participation through digital means. Our goal is to raise conscious individuals and promote a more democratic society.

The growth of digitalization has led to a spread of information, much of which is manipulative. Generation Z, exposed to this digital world, is negatively impacted and needs education against manipulation to participate in democratic life. The project also aims to gather diverse perspectives on the connection between politics and social media, to increase transparency in this relationship.

The working language of this project is English.
