“Seed of Change” was a targeted initiative aimed at strengthening the role and active participation of young people from vulnerable social groups, with a particular focus on those living in disadvantaged urban areas. Its objective was to empower young individuals to actively contribute to building a more just society capable of safeguarding social rights within the context of social and economic crisis.
The programme’s strategy followed a holistic approach, addressing access to social rights, youth participation, and the fight against poverty and social exclusion. Through this integrated framework, it sought to create meaningful opportunities for personal development and social inclusion.
The activities focused on education and advocacy for social rights, fostering critical thinking and active citizenship among participants. Through experiential learning and participatory methods, the programme aimed to generate a lasting and sustainable social impact.
The programme lasted 12 months and involved 160 young participants, aged 15 to 20, from vulnerable social groups in cities including Palermo, Barcelona, The Hague, Thessaloniki, Nairobi, Kathmandu, Bogotá, and Buenos Aires. Additionally, 1,648 young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods benefited indirectly from its activities.
