[The European Partnership for Democracy](https://epd.eu/) (EPD) is committed to advocating, researching, and acting in support of democratic values. As digital technologies reshape decision-making processes and information dissemination, EPD remains at the forefront of understanding and addressing their implications for democracy. Together with [AfricTivistes](https://africtivistes.com/fr/), [Code for Africa](https://github.com/CodeForAfrica), [CFI](https://forum.cfi.fr/en/about-cfi/), [World Scout Bureau Africa Regional Office](https://www.scout.org/where-we-work/regions/africa/region), and [Kofi Annan Foundation](https://www.kofiannanfoundation.org/), EDP will lead the implementation of the initiative “Digitalise Youth”. This initiative will bridge the gap between digital technologies, young activists, and civil society organisations by supporting young changemakers. The project will promote the use of digital tools to enhance the reach and influence of young activists and CSOs, while also aiming to protect young activists from the threats posed by digital environments. “Digitalise Youth” will ensure that young leaders not only harness the potential of civic tech but also thrive in a secure and inclusive civic space, reinforcing democratic resilience in the digital age.
