1. The YOU(th) CARE project aims to empower and mobilize the next generation of Global Caretakers for a shared, sustainable Euro-Mediterranean future. Recognizing youth's resilience and innovative approaches, the project addresses the complexity of current global crises by integrating social, ecological, and democratic perspectives. The project’s key objectives include reinforcing active citizenship and encouraging young people to participate in building a better society. The project seeks to support young people in becoming proactive young leaders by helping them develop Global CARE Agendas. The project focuses on collaboratively designing and implementing Global Care Agendas and Actions, employing a multidimensional approach to address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Incorporating a gender perspective, the project will enhance gender equity by fostering gender-responsive leadership and expanding monitoring networks within youth organizations, groups, and local communities. The YOU(th) CARE is a 40-month-long project, and it focuses on engaging young people from eight EU countries (Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Greece) and four non-EU countries (Albania, Serbia, Tunisia, and Morocco). 2. The YoCoJoin project aims to intensify efforts towards more inclusive and engaging journalism by introducing youth community reporters within local news media outlets. By doing so, this project hopes to boost both the supply of quality journalism and the demand for such services among younger generations, ultimately creating a more economically sustainable business model for local news media outlets. Over the 24 months, the seven project partners – experienced local media organizations from The Netherlands, Malta, Serbia, Hungary, Ireland, Slovenia, and Belgium will collaboratively experiment with introducing an innovative youth community journalism initiative by adapting the experiences of the coordinator, Omroep Tilburg, and teaching 20-30 local young people in each country to the journalism profession through training and mentorship. The project will also directly contribute to the professional skills development of the participating partner organizations through its planned workshops and knowledge-sharing. Finally, YoCoJoin will seek to strengthen the overall sustainability of the wider European local news media sector by providing hands-on experiences to at least 20 non-partner local media services and distributing this inclusive and engaging journalism format through an online tutorial and active networking. As a result, the sector’s potential across countries and regions with different and diverse media capabilities will be increased. 3. In an effort to respond to the marginalisation and silencing of migrant voices in the mainstream European media and information environment, Migrant Voices Matter in the European Media (MigraVoice) aims to bring migrant voices into the mainstream European media space. MigraVoice brings together 6 European organizations covering seven languages to amplify the voices, perspectives, and insights of migrants in Europe within the European media information space by promoting their active participation in producing reliable mainstream traditional and social media narratives. 4. MEDIADELCOM will develop a diagnostic tool (multiple scenario building model) for policy makers, educators, media critical bodies and institutions, as well as for media experts and journalists, which will enable the provision of holistic assessment of risks and opportunities concerning deliberative communication and consequently social cohesion in Europe. The tool will enable drawing on multiple risks and opportunity scenarios of the European media landscape at large, as well as the development of media landscapes in individual countries. Conceptual and operational variables for multiple scenarios will be created by thoroughly examining the diachronic and synchronic changes in news media ecosystems in 14 European countries with special attention to Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). MEDIADELCOM hosts a podcast which focuses on deliberative communication which is the core concept of the entire research project.
