Promoting Active Citizenship in Youth Through the Social Hackathon Approach.
HACKTIVE YOUTH is a Erasmus+ project that empowers young people to become active citizens through the innovative Social Hackathon approach. Working with partners from Europe and the South-Mediterranean region, the project supports youth workers and youth organizations in creating inclusive, participatory spaces where young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, can develop skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.
Through local workshops, community hackathons, international exchanges, and a final International Social Hackathon in Egypt, HACKTIVE YOUTH encourages young people to actively engage with social challenges in their communities and co-create sustainable solutions with real impact.
