Mobility 1 completed: the Youth Civic Voice Lab in Balıkesir
Five days, three countries, four youth-made campaign platforms – the first mobility of Voices in Action has come to an end.
From 12 to 16 October 2026, young people and youth workers from Malta, Hungary and Türkiye met at Bilnet Schools in Balıkesir for the Youth Civic Voice Lab, the first mobility of Voices in Action, hosted by EuroLinks Association.
Working in mixed international teams, they mapped the issues that matter to them, turned them into campaigns and – with AI as their assistant – built their own campaign platforms. Story circles, a Youth Council debate, digital media studios and daily Morning News reels filled the week.
On Launch Day the teams presented their work at the Voices Launch Festival. Their four platforms are now live on this site: Social Balance, AI Insight, Voice of Youth and READIUM.
The week closed with the closing ceremony, where every participant received a Youthpass certificate. Next stop: Mobility 2 in Malta, in November 2026.
