2023 call for proposals in preparation for the 2023 NGO Development Leap

The aim of the project is to explore and analyse the possible development of the two main activities of Citizen OS and to define a roadmap for their implementation over the next 1-3 years.

Democracy Defenders Accelerator

Our flagship 10-month civic leadership programme for young activists. In this hybrid, hands-on programme, participants learn to design and deliver civic engagement projects and practise participatory leadership skills.

Winter and Summer Schools

The Digital Innovation for Civic Engagement Projects course is run in a partnership between us and Tallinn University, as part of their Summer and Winter School programmes. The 10-day course teaches members of communities and civic initiatives how to involve more people into discussion and decision-making processes, through the use of technological tools.

Participatory Youth Leadership Network

Citizen OS’s Indian chapter, PYLN, collaborates with Indian organisations and hacktivists who share our vision of furthering participatory leadership.

PYLN supports and co-creates action-based research such as campaigns, petitions, bottom-up decision making and grassroots initiatives.

Erasmus+ Youth Exchange

In our ʻDigital Transformation for Civic Engagementʼ youth exchange programme, Europe’s next generation of leaders learn civic engagement project design and participatory leadership, through hands-on ʻlearning by doingʼ methods.
