Foundation for Entrepreneurship, Culture and Education is looking for participants from Sofia to take part in the SHINE International Academy on Civic Engagement for Young Leaders funded by the Erasmus+ Programme.
The academy will be implemented in Hotel Hemus, Sofia.
The dates of the training are 11-15 May 2026.
Profile of the participants: young people aged 18-30 from Sofia, interested in civic engagement, democracy and media literacy.
The SHINE project aims to equip youth organisations and young people in the partner countries with tools, skills and attitudes to: (1) guarantee meaningful youth participation and dialogue with policymakers, (2) ensure civic engagement among young people and (3) provide a platform for youth voices to be heard by the local community, national state, and European society. 30 young people from Bulgaria, Germany, Romania, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro will take part in the academy and will co-design awareness raising social media campaigns to promote issues important for their local communities (and youth in particular).
The project is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme.
