“There can be no daily democracy without daily citizenship.”
Repubblika is offering a fantastic opportunity to young people aged 18 to 35 who want to become an effective force for change in society.
Do you sometimes burn with the desire to make the world – or at least your community – a better place? If the answer is yes, then you’re invited to a youth camp in Gozo between the 2nd and 5th of September that will teach participants how to take action to defend and strengthen democracy for the good of local or global communities.
The camp is part of a five-country EU project called RESTART aimed at fostering democratic participation, active citizenship and solidarity action to counter the impacts of organised crime.
Each country will hold a similar camp in which participants will also learn about the social reuse of assets seized from criminal activities.
The camp will offer both a theoretical and practical learning experience. Not only will participants gain invaluable knowledge from experts and activists about working for freedom, rights, social justice and the rule of law, but they’ll also re-create a mini-democracy in practice as well make a concrete contribution to a property in Gozo used for social purposes.
Plus, participants are likely to make new friends among people who share their own passion and commitment to seek change.
The camp is open to anyone between the ages of 18 and 35 who believe democracy is not a spectator sport but a crucial aspect of life that they need to fight and work for.
