EDYN WE ARE
Although we differ in political views, we share a deep commitment to democratic principles, and we come together to search for solutions to the societal problems that our countries face. We respect each other, we listen to each other, and we are here to help each other.
We are hundreds of organized people in 23 countries. Our network’s partners and friends help us with skills-building, resources and connections to like-minded people.
We do not take democracy for granted.
Being active in public life is hardly popular among our peers. Many of us have made sacrifices fighting for our freedoms, but we continue working for what we believe in. The wave of hate, distrust and division in our societies paves the road for autocrats, and we refuse to look the other way. We will not let them succeed; we want to live in free societies.
Our mission is to empower the next generation of young pro-democracy leaders across Central and Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans and the South Caucasus by equipping them with the tools, networks, and opportunities to engage meaningfully in civic and political life at local, national, and European levels.
Our vision is one of dynamic youth leadership and active citizenship, where young Europeans stand at the forefront of positive change, advocate for freedom and democracy across their countries, shape EU and national policies, and foster cross-partisan dialogue and inclusivity. We see our members successfully doing so every day, because their ties to their local communities mean they can appeal to local audiences, relate to their peers’ concerns, and forge partnerships with local CSOs and institutions.
