29. November 202315. Dezember 2021 von Polis180

„Europäischer Minderheitenschutz“ und „Antidiskriminierungsgesetz“ – wie können junge Menschen, die einer Minderheit oder marginalisierten Gruppe angehören, in Europa für ihre Rechte und Forderungen eintreten? In der deutsch-georgisch-ukrainischen Online-Workshopreihe #diversityEUnited ging es genau darum: Empowerment, ein Bewusstsein über die eigenen Rechte und die Entwicklung kreativer Projektideen, um den Stimmen von Minderheiten Gehör zu verschaffen.

Georgia’s 2021 local elections: Youth at the democratic front line

8. Juni 2021 von Polis180

Youth in Georgia is rarely involved in policy processes, both caused by and adding to political nihilism. This attitude was further amplified by a political crisis following the parliamentary elections in October 2020. Our joint Georgian-German project #GEOYOUTH2020 has engaged young people across the country in a conversation on how to amplify youth political engagement. As the next step in the run-up to the local elections in 2021, they take action in their communities this year!

“The Vaccinated States of America”

12. Mai 2021 von Polis180

Within a year the United States has advanced from Covid-19 hotspot to vaccination champion. While the willingness to receive a vaccination depends firmly on party affiliation, the U.S. has mastered the development, distribution, and administration of the vaccines in record time. Addressing skepticism early on and providing comprehensive communication strategies have supported the quest for mass vaccination. Are there potential lessons to be drawn for Europe’s vaccination progress?

Donald Trump’s election loss now formally removed him from office after just four years. Whether this defeat will diminish his influence on the Republican Party is yet to be seen. The Grand Old Party (GOP) stands at the crossroads of its own future.

Our COVID-19 strategy: How Agora embraced digital transformation

8. Dezember 2020 von Polis180

Agora was founded on grassroots participation. For us, this means having open, inclusive discussions about foreign policy with people of all ages, backgrounds, and political views in order to influence foreign policy. Our in-person meet ups have been an integral part of our founding and continual growth. We prized the welcoming warmth of meeting together, in informal settings, to ask the big questions about our world.

Participation for future: Youth in party politics in Germany, Georgia and beyond

1. Dezember 2020 von Polis180

Party politics is losing touch with civil society, most prominently youth. During the past months, we have discussed actions to include young people and their diverse positions on contemporary issues in politics with youth and young experts in Georgia and Germany. It has become clear that new forms of interaction between these increasingly disconnected groups are needed – and that the time is now!
