Five activists - five stories!

Around the world, democracy activists are standing up for their communities, often risking their lives in the process. This comes at a time when democracy is facing unprecedented challenges. In this context, Life as an Activist sheds light on the work and challenges of democracy activists.

Over the next month, we follow five activists from Latin America who are working to protect the environment and defend indigenous rights. They are using democratic tools like citizens' assemblies, referendums, and other participatory methods to advocate for change.

Get inspired by their stories!

By witnessing the stories of the activists, we can all be inspired to take action ourselves.
It is especially important for young citizens to understand how to shape their future and engage in democracy in a sustainable way. That is why we aim to bring each activist's journey closer to their hearts, empowering them to take next steps toward change. Through workshops and learning opportunities, we empower citizens with the tools they need to actively participate in shaping their communities.
