EMPOWER+ – 1st Newsletter Rural Voices, Global Impact – The EMPOWER+ Journey Begins! Young people in rural areas have always been the heartbeat of their communities, but too often, their voices don’t reach the halls of power. That changes now. We are thrilled to share the first newsletter of EMPOWER+, an EU-funded project bringing together 8 partner organizations across 7 countries in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa to establish and strengthen Rural Youth Parliaments. From our successful Kick-off Meeting in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, to our teams now on the ground mapping needs and interviewing stakeholders, we are just getting started. Our mission is clear: geographic distance should never mean political silence. Together, we will train youth leaders, build digital platforms, and create real pathways for rural young people to shape the decisions that affect their lives. Stay tuned for updates, stories, and ways to get involved. Learn more: Instagram Page

UNITY – Digital Library Civil society organisations are often on the front line when confronting hate speech and hate crime. Through the UNITY project, partners are now working on T3.2: the Digital Library for CSOs who are victims of hate speech or at risk of becoming victims. This upcoming resource will be a multilingual online library of tools, best practices, and guidance designed to help CSOs strengthen their capacity to prevent, identify, and respond to hate speech and hate crime. The library will bring together materials identified during the UNITY Country Studies, as well as additional resources collected by project partners across Europe. The goal is to create an accessible platform where organisations and individuals can easily find practical support. The digital library will allow users to search resources by:• Type of resource• Language• Target group (CSOs and individuals) Once launched, partners will actively disseminate the library and provide additional personalised support to CSOs affected by hate speech, ensuring the tools reach the organisations that need them most. Stay tuned as the UNITY project continues building practical solutions to support civil society and strengthen responses to hate speech across Europe.

UNITY – Country Studies Report Insights What does digital hate look like across Europe and how does it affect young people? Within the UNITY Project, we developed the Country Studies on Prevalence and Legal Framework, a comparative report exploring digital hate speech and hate crime among youth in six EU countries. The findings show that online hate is not marginal but embedded in the digital spaces young people use every day. It is often normalised and underreported, with real consequences for participation, wellbeing, and inclusion. By combining research, lived experiences, and cross country analysis, the report provides a strong evidence base to support policy, strengthen responses, and promote safer digital environments. From evidence to action, we are working towards more inclusive and respectful online spaces for all.

Experiential learning helps students stay active, feel responsible, and connect with nature. Through activities like hiking and outdoor learning, young people improve their physical well-being and develop respect for the environment. Active learning creates active living. It supports healthy lifestyles, environmental awareness, and lifelong learning — step by step. This is the power of experiential learning.
