Fostering Youth Information: Constructive Dialogue makes Participation Accessible

ongoing

"Fostering Youth Information: Constructive Dialogue Makes Participation Accessible (FYI3) project, led by European Youth Press (EYP), is a bold initiative to amplify youth voices and foster inclusive media engagement across Europe. Rooted in the EU Youth Strategy, the project empowers young media makers to shape public discourse, develop professional skills, and advocate for democratic values. FYI3’s flagship initiatives include Pulse Z, a pioneering digital democracy platform equipping 500 youth with training in journalism, multimedia, and activism. Through workshops, media creation, and advocacy, Pulse Z fosters a new generation of engaged, media-savvy Europeans. Our Eye on the EU (EEU) complements this by empowering youth to monitor EU policies and counter misinformation through diverse multimedia outputs and deliberative processes. The Orange Magazine Expansion elevates youth-led media, integrating environmental journalism and solutions-based storytelling to address key societal issues, including the EU Green Deal. Simultaneously, the #YouthMediaCommunity Campaign promotes constructive dialogue and inclusivity through creative online and offline interactions. FYI3 emphasizes collaborative governance and knowledge exchange, featuring thematic Forums of Member Organisations (FOMO), General Assemblies, and KA1 Mobility Projects, which support capacity-building among our Member Organisations. Regular internal and external evaluations ensure robust management and strategic alignment. By integrating sustainability, diversity, and cutting-edge non-formal learning methods, FYI3 establishes a youth media ecosystem that bridges gaps in information, strengthens civic space, and advances EU goals of active citizenship, media literacy, and inclusivity. Through these efforts, EYP aspires to create a lasting legacy of informed, empowered, and connected young Europeans leading impactful change. "
