ECOSOCIAL VOICES empowers young people with fewer opportunities to become active contributors to the ecosocial transition by combining civic engagement, sustainability, and skills development.
The project introduces innovative civic monitoring practices that enable young people to identify, analyse, and respond to local environmental and social challenges. Through a combination of capacity building, digital learning, and hands-on community action, participants develop the competences needed to influence decision-making processes and promote more sustainable and inclusive societies.
By bridging the gap between awareness and action, ECOSOCIAL VOICES supports young people in becoming informed, confident, and impactful agents of change within their communities and beyond.

- Promote active citizenship, participation, and dialogue with decision-makers
- Support sustainable and socially responsible behaviours among young people
Activities

Good learning doesn’t start with a template. It starts with listening.

Before we create something for young people, we need to listen to them. That’s the idea behind the consultation phase of EcoSocial Voices.

How many times have you heard a young person say, “Nobody asked us”? #ECOSOCIALVOICES

The best solutions rarely come from one person. They come from people who are willing to listen to one another. That’s the idea behind Local Multidisciplinary Assemblies (LMAs) in the EcoSocial Voices project.
