European Dialogue

Supporting youth work, media, and active citizens at local and European level

The European Dialogue is a civic and youth media association founded to promote active citizenship, professional media and art, quality youth work, and media literacy in Slovakia, EU, and beyond. Its team believes that the most important for youth is to live in a safe and inspirational environment, where they can interact with each other, be creative, express their opinions, learn what interests them, and take an initiative to make the world around them a better place. It is also important for them to be able to critically assess information they receive, disseminate, and communicate.

Contribution to consortium

The European Dialogue makes sure that, through its activities, it contributes to youth’s professional and personal growth, development of quality media, and society’s awareness of important European, national, and local topics. In the PulseZ, the organisation supervises the production of content, works on development of new formats, such as video and podcast series, and facilitates use of new multimedia and gamification tools, for example interactive maps and quizzes. Its team also focuses on support of use of constructive and engaged journalism methods, and on combination of various formats of content.

Our mission

Rather unique profile of the European Dialogue is combining focus on youth, media, arts, and youth work. The activities of the organisation are therefore targeted at youth in general, young journalists, other media makers and content creators, artists, and youth workers. Special attention is paid to young people who face lack of opportunities due to various obstacles, or haven’t been active in the public sphere yet.
The European Dialogue is helping people with various backgrounds to get new competences in areas of their interest, develop their talents, be media literate and resistant to misinformation, use the opportunities they have and be prepared for challenges, and be conscious of the impact of various activities on society and nature.

The organisation thereby empowers those people to be tolerant educated individuals, who have a spirit of initiative, care about their surroundings, and actively contribute to positive developments in their communities or societies. This approach is relevant also to the media and arts field, where the European Dialogue promotes engagement with an audience through online and offline participation tools, quality and responsible media and content production, and cooperation across professions and borders.
