Work Without Borders

Overview

Work Without Borders, a KA2-Small Scale project based in Poland, aims to promote the active participation of young citizens in local Participatory Budgets. This initiative facilitates their engagement in decision-making processes within municipalities. Through activities such as idea contests, project management workshops, and online promotion, the project empowers young people to develop and advocate for their ideas in the local budgeting process.
