Step Up Your Game
Soft skills, empowerment and civic action: a project designed for young people aged 15 to 20 in Italy and Portugal who want to grow and take action.
Objectives
Self-awareness and future orientation
The project helps young people recognise their strengths and build a clearer vision of their future.
Transversal skills
Through experiential activities, participants strengthen communication, teamwork and adaptability.
Civic Participation
Participants co-design an advocacy campaign to launch in their own community.
Women's Empowerment
Each module includes a specific focus on building confidence and leadership for young women.
For young people
Are you a young person aged 15 to 20?
For youth workers
Are you an educator or youth worker?
For Young people
The project is open to young people living in Italy or Portugal.
Start the journey
Three stages — Self, Future, Act — combining games, storytelling and theatre to explore who you are, where you want to go, and how to start moving. Selections will open in the coming months: stay updated so you don’t miss the call.
Live an international experience
If you take part in the national labs, you’ll also be able to join the transnational lab in Portugal, alongside peers from Italy and Portugal.
Make your voice heard
In the final stage, you’ll help co-design a real advocacy campaign, later launched in your own community.
For EDUCATORS AND YOUTH WORKERS
The project is developing a free toolkit with the full methodology — activity sheets, reflective tools and case studies — designed to be used with your own groups.
It will be available online at the end of the labs.
