The project brought together young people from Italy, Armenia, Finland, and Spain, with partner organizations <strong>DiverCity<\/strong> (Armenia), <strong>Finnish Peace Committee<\/strong> (Finland), plus our six  <strong>Strait Up<\/strong> participants. Over several days, participants shared ideas, experiences, and perspectives in a lively intercultural setting focused on today\u2019s social and political challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Age of Disconsent\u201d reflects a key moment in young people\u2019s lives, when they move from simply accepting the status quo to actively questioning it and taking part in public discourse. Through non-formal education activities and professional facilitation by Two Plus Two, participants explored responsible citizenship, nonviolent communication, and the impact of words and actions. Special attention was given to misinformation and political discourse in the online age, making complex topics more personal, interactive, and relevant to everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working in international groups, the youth developed cooperation skills and learned how to engage constructively with different viewpoints. The exchange concluded with the creation of a <strong>podcast<\/strong>, designed to share their reflections with a wider audience and amplify young voices beyond the project itself. The experience not only strengthened participants\u2019 confidence to act within their own communities, but also laid the foundation for future collaboration between the partner organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are excited to see what next steps and new projects grow out of this collaboration!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In November 2025, the Erasmus+ Youth Exchange \u201cAge of Disconsent\u201d took place in Naples, Italy, hosted by our partner Two Plus Two.
