ABOUT THE PROJECT
Youth4Values is an Erasmus+ project bringing together young people from across Europe around the themes that matter most: democracy, inclusion, active citizenship, and the power of dialogue. The project believes that young voices are not the leaders of tomorrow — they are the changemakers of today.
ABOUT THIS ACTIVITY
The Community Forum is a space for open, honest, and energetic conversation. It is designed for young people in Sarajevo who want to engage with real questions — questions about how democracy works, why youth participation in decision-making matters, and what happens when young people start talking directly with those who hold power.
The Forum will bring together up to 15 participants for a morning of meaningful exchange, collaborative discussion, and one highlight that we think you will love:
Democracy Quiz – with Rewards!
Test your knowledge and challenge your peers in a quiz covering:
- Democracy – what it is, how it works, and why it needs you,
- Youth participation in decision-making – your rights, your tools, your impact, and
- The importance of dialogue with decision-makers – why the conversation has to happen, and how to make it count.
The best performers will walk away with special rewards. But more importantly, everyone will walk away sharper, more informed, and more inspired to act.
Who Can Apply?
This activity is open to all young people based in Sarajevo, regardless of age, background, or prior experience. All you need is curiosity, an open mind, and the willingness to show up and engage.

MORE ABOUT PROJECT
The Youth4Values – Youth for Democracy and Values project was created to support young people in becoming more active, informed, and engaged citizens in their local communities. The project focused on strengthening democratic values, active citizenship, youth participation, human rights, inclusion, and the connection between young people and decision-making processes.
In many European communities, young people still do not have enough space to express their opinions, participate in public life, or influence decisions that affect their everyday lives. This is especially visible among young people with fewer opportunities, who often face additional barriers such as limited access to information, lack of support, social exclusion, economic difficulties, or low trust in institutions.
Youth4Values responded to these needs by creating practical opportunities for young people to learn, discuss, act, and connect. The project did not focus only on theory. It encouraged young people to understand democracy through real experiences, local engagement, peer learning, dialogue, workshops, campaigns, and direct participation in community activities.
The project was implemented by partners from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Montenegro, and Spain, bringing together different realities, experiences, and approaches to youth participation. This international cooperation helped partners exchange good practices, compare challenges in their countries, and develop local activities that were adapted to the real needs of young people in each community.
A strong part of the project was its focus on non-formal education. Through interactive activities, participants had the opportunity to develop critical thinking, communication, teamwork, civic awareness, and a better understanding of their rights and responsibilities as citizens. The project also promoted the importance of youth organisations as spaces where young people can practice democracy, build confidence, and take active roles in society.
According to the project application, Youth4Values aimed to enhance democratic governance and the rule of law by promoting civic education, active citizenship, and youth empowerment. It also focused on connecting democracy with human rights, inclusion, and meaningful participation in decision-making processes.
