The Democratic Action of Refugees in Europe (DARE) project:
The main goal of the project is to promote the participation of first time voters with refugee background in the upcoming European Parliament Elections, and to sustain their democratic engagement at local level beyond the 2024 EU Elections.
Our main objectives are:
- To raise awareness among first time voters with refugee background about the EU elections why they should vote and how they can do it
- To develop skills among community leaders and multipliers with refugee background to advocate from the democratic participation with and for their communities
- To increase the capacity on a local level to monitor participation of former refugees throughout the electoral cycle.
