TALKNATION

DEBATE. ACT. PROGRESS.

TALKNATION was created to cultivate informed and engaged citizens who actively contribute to the democratic fabric of the European Union.
With a focus on inclusivity and critical thinking, we strive to make democracy accessible and meaningful for all, helping to shape a resilient society, one conscious person at a time.

Courses and Training

Learn how to distill the rhetoric by joining the discourse on today's pressing societal issues.

We provide various opportunities to learn-by-doing for organizational teams and individuals who want to become informed and active EU citizens.

Our tailored courses and trainings will teach you the skills to think critically, communicate inclusively and actively engage on topics you care about. Democratic processes, newcomers and migration, climate change - how do they affect you, your career prospects and the community around you. You can do something about it and you are not alone!

Nhan, 20 yr., Project Participant

“The tolerance and activism project that I participated in allowed me to explore my cultural awareness and reasoning skills across various modules and methods. We had an incredible opportunity to hone our digital skills and apply our knowledge to create a digital course on inclusivity and activism, under the mentorship of Ms. Levceva. I appreciated the tailored visits to the different EU institutions: a hands-on experience on how the EU functions to sustain democracy and advocate for people’s rights at regional and global scales. We also participated in a 20km Brussels half-marathon to raise awareness of the needs of one particularly vulnerable group (people with mental disabilities). It felt special to run with like-minded people through Brussels, the capital of Europe.”

Ioana, 39 yr., Volunteer

“I truly appreciated the opportunity to attend a conference at the European Commission Info Centre, organised by one of the staff currently with TALKNATION. The forum provided valuable insights into EU policies for young people. Our collaboration with Tatiana on digital communication materials, project evaluation, and reporting across two projects was smooth, productive, and pleasant.”

Maite, 26 yr., Project Participant and Intern

"I participated in a project on sustainable tourism designed and organised by the people now working with TALKNATION. I enjoyed the international dimension of the project, meeting other young people from Belgium and Croatia, and travelling and volunteering together abroad. I also really appreciated the conferences and activities during the day on sustainability and participating in a beach clean-up with another local organization. Working as an intern for 5 months was a great experience: I learned by doing, about international project management and the organization of Erasmus+ projects on environmental and social issues, which are of great interest and important causes to me."
