Voices of Pelagonia is a youth-driven digital platform created to empower young people to actively participate in social, cultural, and civic life. Our mission is to amplify youth voices, encourage creative expression, and build a space where young people can share their perspectives, stories, and ideas for positive change. We believe that when young people are given the tools and the platform to speak, they become active contributors to their communities.
Why this platform exists?
Pelagonia is a region rich in culture and potential, yet many young people lack access to platforms where their voices can be heard. Voices of Pelagonia was created to bridge that gap.
This platform exists to:
- Provide a safe and inclusive space for youth expression
- Strengthen digital and media literacy
- Encourage civic engagement and active participation
- Highlight stories from marginalized and underrepresented youth
Voices of Pelagonia transforms creativity into impact.

We support young people aged 15–29 from the Pelagonia region, with special focus on:
- Youth from rural communities
- Roma youth
- Young women
- NEET youth (Not in Education, Employment, or Training)
- Youth with fewer opportunities
