EYDR Final Conference: ESN Tirana Champions Youth Participation in Digital Democracy
Over the past two years, the EYDR project empowered youth with fewer opportunities by strengthening their digital skills and awareness of digital rights. ESN Tirana played a key role in implementing the project under its Digital Transition pillar, working to promote youth participation and digital democracy.
In collaboration with SCiDEV and seven regional partners, ESN Tirana supported research on youth digital engagement and involved over 30 young people in co-creating podcasts, policy briefs, and awareness campaigns. These efforts helped youth become active contributors to democratic life online.
The final conference, held on September 25 at Europe House in Tirana, brought together youth, civil society, and institutions to reflect on the project’s impact. Young participants presented policy papers on media literacy, AI, cyberbullying, and youth engagement, sparking dialogue with decision-makers.
ESN Tirana invites all stakeholders to celebrate this milestone and continue building inclusive digital spaces where youth voices shape the future of democracy.
