A few weeks ago, our Design Youth participants from Luxembourg took part in a design thinking training in Portugal. Fast forward to this past weekend and and they were already putting what they learned it into practice by designing and running their very own workshop back home in Luxembourg. Their session focused on self-discovery and career orientation, using tools like the Japanese Ikigai framework to explore purpose, values, and direction. We had an awesome time full of openness, reflection, and meaningful conversations. We’re proud to see our participants turning their learning into action and creating a safe, empowering space for others to explore who they are and where they’re going. More to come from Design Youth, stay tuned!
The Coconuts have a taste of the Europa Experience! On 23rd May we took our participants from Eelectrickplus Erasmusplus Youth Exchange to attend the EU4YourFuture conference in Luxembourg, a place dedicated to shaping the future of the social and solidarity economy in Europe. It was an absolute blast! Our participants proudly shared the ideas and work they developed during the exchange. They had the chance to: ⭐️ Co-create a Vision Board with other young people and policymakers, using collages to imagine how to strengthen the EU’s social pillar and boost youth participation.⭐️ Engage in dialogue with Members of the European Parliament and EU representatives⭐️ Share their voice through inspiring testimonials Big thanks to Wecitizens Asbl and the European Parliament Liaison Office in Luxembourg for making it all happen! Special thanks to the Luxembourg National Agency Anefore, and the guest MEP speakers: Tilly Metz and Charles Goerens.
Our NHE Fellowship Training in Filadelfia has come to an end with a lot of energy, learning, and the promise to meet again in Morocco for the second part of this journey where we will conclude with a conference. In the final days, our fellows were trained on powerful digital campaigning tools, including communication strategy and the GAMMMA+ model. They were also provided with visual design guidance and structured posting calendars 🔥 Everyone wrapped up the training with a clear message and crafted their first campaigns set to go live on June 18th—International Day of No Hate. Now they return home equipped with the skills, tools, and motivation to help build a more peaceful, hate-free Euro-Mediterranean region. And we couldn’t be more excited about the work they will produce in this 6 month process.
From Filadelfia, Italy with love! 💚 We have welcomed 30 fellows to the No Hate Embassy from: France, Italy, Morocco, Romania, Tunisia and Egypt. During a period of 6 months, we’ll be closely working with them to tackle hate speech through impactful digital campaigns, starting with a training course in sunny Filadelfia, Italy. Our mission in this training was to meet our fellows, get to know them and preparing together for the work ahead. Over the course of the training we have deepened our knowledge on hate speech and explored effective digital campaigning tools to address it. The first days have been filled with energy sharing stories, backgrounds, and engaging in thoughtful discussions around critical concepts central to our mission. Our fellows then jumped right into the work of preparing to launch powerful digital campaigns that advocate for peace and inclusion. They’ve explored the complex topic of hate speech 🚫 through lively group discussions, creative expressions like theatre and poetry, and national reality presentations. On top of that, they’ve used the Council of Europe’s framework to break down local cases, gaining deeper insights into what defines hate speech and effective countermeasures!
During the last days of our Electick+ youth exchange we were excited to see our coconuts go from problems to solutions, creating campaigns and pitching them to address issues that hold young people from participating in democratic and electoral processes. We saw creative and funny reels, community space proposals, calls for digital advocacy, and youth-led info platforms – all designed to boost youth participation and awareness. Thus resulting in: 👉 Awareness-raising video campaigns 👉 Proposals for local youth spaces 👉 Informational platforms to support participation 👉Youth-to-youth advocacy strategies 👉 Community spaces & events Between campaign labs and final presentations, we also reflected on what it means to be an advocate and how even small steps can shift systems. Inspired by each other and the voices we met at the Europe4YourFuture conference, we’re now ready to do more and give more!
On the 16th of May, we turned up the voltage on youth participation and advocacy in Luxembourg with Electrick+ Youth Exchange ⚡️ in hopes of charging up the next generation of change-makers. We had just wrapped up a whirlwind of pitches, prototypes, and digital dreams, but it was high time to bring 40 young minds from across Europe to: 🔹Understand how advocacy works today, and what strategies and systems exist at both national and EU levels. 🔹Show how young people can make a difference in decisions made by their countries and the EU. 🔹Help young people build digital skills by learning about new ways to take part online. 🔹Support young people in creating and promoting their own advocacy efforts, using real-life examples as inspiration. 🔹Boost critical thinking by helping them learn how to assess and question information found online. Over the course of the program, the teams have diagnosed what’s holding young people back from taking part in elections and other democratic processes. Participants divided themselves into teams to develop real solutions to: 🔹 The lack of local youth communities. 🔹 The lack of motivation. 🔹 Inaccessibility of information. 🔹 Youth passivity and apathy. 🔹 The absence of unbiased information.
It’s official! After months of dedicated collaboration across Europe and the Mediterranean, our Manual for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) on tackling hate speech is finally out!

Wrapping up an impactful week in Sharm El Sheikh with big smiles all around! It’s been an intense six days where we tackled the pressing issue of hate speech through immersive non-formal education tools and methods. Despite being in a stunning resort with warm beaches and tempting holiday activities, our focus remained steadfast: training participants to become advocates for tolerance and diversity, true no hate ambassadors! In the final days of the program, participants delved into a case study on a hate crime that shattered lives, exploring its motives and origins to build resilience. They also took part in our TikTok Lab, using digital advocacy skills to counter hateful narratives and promote inclusion. In the words of Bassant, representing Egypt: “As someone in the same field who also organizes projects, I know that putting together something of this quality is not easy. Having sent participants to similar projects in Morocco, I often hear them say it was their best experience. In this project, I got to experience it firsthand.” More trainings and exciting surprises are on the way under the banner of #NoHateEmbassy!
Merhaba, Egypt! On the 23rd of Nov we flew to beautiful Sharm El Sheikh for an impactful training course addressing one of today’s most pressing issues. Critically Yours is the first training course of our capacity-building project, NHE (#nohateembassy), which started several months ago. This initiative brings together experienced youth workers from across the Euro-Mediterranean region, empowering them to become No Hate Ambassadors in their communities. Through this training, participants will foster critical thinking, inspire their audiences, and gain practical tools for digital prevention and counter-narration strategies. The opening days have been all about settling into the rhythm of the program: laying the foundation, building connections, and diving into key concepts. We’ve explored how to identify online hate speech and discussed the vital roles various stakeholders play in addressing this pressing challenge. The following days, our participants have been busy:👉 Analyzing the causes and consequences of hate speech👉Exploring the different hate narratives that exist and their origins👉Learning about the national realities of the participating countries👉Using roleplay to foster debate and spark discussions And that’s not all, our NHE TED Talks have been a highlight, where our participants took center stage to share personal accounts and experiences of how they dealt

We’ve officially kicked off DemoGreenYE, our Youth Exchange in the beautiful Canary Islands! This week, 42 motivated young people from Romania, Luxembourg, Spain, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Sweden, and Poland have come together to explore the powerful connection between democracy and sustainability. At its core, democracy ensures every voice counts in shaping our shared future. In an era marked by pressing environmental challenges, integrating ecological thinking into democratic practices isn’t just beneficial, it’s essential! Who better to drive this crucial integration forward than young people, whose futures depend directly on the decisions made today? The first days of our exchange have been dedicated to team building, defining key concepts, and sparking enthusiasm for the days ahead. Participants started by presenting “National Realities,” that highlight sustainability issues unique to their home countries, and discussing solutions, influential figures, and local contexts. We’ve also mapped out inspiring green activism initiatives across the represented countries. A special visit from Avanfuer, a local organization, gave participants practical insights into sustainability challenges and solutions right here in Fuerteventura to illustrate the tangible impact of activism. Of course, amidst the intense discussions, we’ve found moments to appreciate the stunning nature surrounding us, and we’ve enjoyed two vibrant intercultural

And just like that, Elec-trick Youth Exchange has come to an end in Weicherdange, but the energy and momentum are just beginning. After an intense week of planning, teamwork, and digital campaigning, our participants are set to continue their impactful work all the way up to the European Elections. During the second half of the exchange, each national team launched their own digital campaigns, carefully defining key issues, target audiences, strategies, and crafting engaging first posts.
