Informed Opinions for Better Decisions: Empowering Youth Voices

The “Informed Opinions for Better Decisions: Empowering Youth Voices” project, funded by European Union, led by DW Akademie and implemented by Bonhishikha, Kotha, and Article 19, aimed to promote youth participation in democratic processes. Targeting rural young adults from Rangpur, Chittagong Hill Tracts, Mymensingh, and Satkhira, the programme facilitated discussions with local youth groups on gender issues, citizenship, and rights, highlighting the importance of political awareness and participation. Bonhishikha engaged with youth-led groups across the country to co-create interactive session designs that can encourage reflective discourse and open communication within participants in the community. It allowed a space for young participants from diverse identities and experiences to delve into conversations about political rights, freedom of expression, and citizenship rights.
