Empowering Deaf Youth in Digital Democracy!

Together with the Albanian National Association of the Deaf (ANAD), CCIS and SCiDEV successfully organized a Digital Democracy workshop, February 22, 2025, as part of the Digital Democracy Workshop Series, engaging young members of the deaf community in the Youth Digital Democracy Accelerator Program of the “Youth Participation in Digital Democracy: From Digital Skills to Digital Rights of Youth with Fewer Opportunities in the Western Balkans (EYDR)” project!

Funded by the Erasmus+ Capacity Building for Youth program of the European Commission and coordinated by SCiDEV, EYDR is dedicated to engaging, connecting, and empowering young people in the digital world. By enhancing digital skills and promoting awareness of digital rights, the project ensures that youth—especially those with fewer opportunities—can fully participate in digital democracy while balancing protection and participation.

As an essential partner, CCIS plays a key role not only in monitoring and evaluation but also in bridging access for marginalized youth through its strong collaboration with ANAD. This partnership has allowed deaf youth to take part in workshops and mobility opportunities, ensuring a more inclusive and equitable digital space.

EYDR fosters national and regional alliances among media, youth organizations, universities, and public authorities, creating networks that raise awareness, encourage policy dialogue, and advocate for digital inclusion.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to shape a more inclusive digital democracy!
