Our team was proud to represent the International

Our team was proud to represent the International Community at the Warsaw Human Dimension Conference, organised by the OSCE and Malta’s 2024 Chairpersonship. This 10-day event brought together OSCE member states and representatives of civil society from across the region to address pressing topics such as the protection of democratic institutions, media freedom, and the essential role of civil society engagement. One of the focal points of the discussions was the Russian aggression against Ukraine, highlighting the serious impact this ongoing conflict continues to have on human rights and security in Europe.

Amid these urgent conversations, our delegation contributed a particular focus on the critical role of youth engagement in democratic processes. We believe that young people, who make up 25% of the EU population, must be at the heart of shaping the future of democracy in Europe. Youth organisations are uniquely positioned to foster deeper participation in vital democratic processes such as elections, and this begins with actively involving young people in election observation. By observing elections, youth not only learn about transparency, fairness, and accountability but also inspire their peers to take a more active role in democracy.

At the conference, we highlighted the importance of ensuring that youth not only have access to information about elections but are also active participants in the process itself. Empowering them to engage in these roles can create a more inclusive, youth-driven democracy, ensuring the sustainability of democratic institutions at local, regional, and national levels. This approach aligns with the OSCE’s broader goals of defending democracy and human rights across the region.

Our discussions, alongside other civil society representatives, underscored the importance of defending election integrity, tackling disinformation, and supporting human rights defenders and journalists. Through initiatives like youth election observation, we believe we can help secure a stronger and more transparent democratic future.

Wondering about the results of this amazing first

On 20 September 2024, we visited NATO Headquarters

On 20 September 2024, we visited NATO Headquarters in Brussels, the heart of one of the world’s most important military alliances dedicated to ensuring collective security and political stability. We also had the chance to tour the impressive NATO building and gain firsthand insight into where crucial decisions on global security are made.

Our meetings kicked off with a session led by Dr. Petr Lunák, Deputy Head of the Public Diplomacy Division, who shared key takeaways from the recent Washington Summit. The discussion focused on NATO’s support for Ukraine, increased military spending, and expanding partnerships with other regions, sparking a deeper conversation on NATO’s political agenda and its response to global challenges.

Later, we met with Mihaela Rosu, Lead Officer for Youth Engagement, to explore ways NATO can improve communication with young people and the wider public, making international security topics more accessible. The visit was both inspiring and educational, offering valuable insights into NATO’s priorities and its commitment to engaging with the next generation.
