About the Project
This project turns the momentum of the citizenship referendum into a durable youth-led movement for migrant and racial justice. It builds the leadership and advocacy capacity of young activists in 20 local groups through training, mentoring and organizing support. It enables eight decentralized campaigns across Italy, Belgium and France to push for political accountability and change narratives on citizenship and racial inequality. It also deepens the partnership between DPGS and FP, aligning their approaches and strengthening joint structures to achieve long-term systemic change.
