Democratic Engagement and Civic Participation

Proposal: Beyond the stereotypes

Implementation: 2025 to 2027

Call: CERV-2025-CITIZENS-CIV – Citizens’ engagement and participation

Topic: CERV-2025-CITIZENS-CIV

Type of Action: CERV-LS – CERV Lump Sum Grants

Proposed Budget: 287 135,00€

Keywords: Democratic engagement and civic participation, Disinformation and media literacy, EU integration, European identity, Fake-news, migration, gender equality, public debate, no hate speech, social media, Countering disinformation, information manipulation and interference in the democratic debate

Objective: The project aims to counter stereotypes and hateful narratives in relation to migration, particularly with regard to migrant women who are the weakest target and least present in the democratic debate. Through an innovative methodology formed by empathic and engaging tools such as the human library gamification and migration diaries, the project aims to raise awareness of young European citizens in the countries on the theme of migration and develop critical skills towards fake news and media hatred and on the other hand to increase the confidence of women migrants to EU institutions by increasing their participation in the democratic life of the host countries.
