Creating Change
N.A.M.E is a dynamic initiative aiming to ensure the inclusion of youth in civic and democratic life in Europe. The project uses digital media to create simple and accessible ways for young people with intellectual disabilities to share their voice and their stories with others. Cross-Europe engagement strengthens networks that support participation, solidarity, and belonging, bringing more voices into public life and helping to build a more connected and inclusive society that the youth of our future can count on.
Social Impact
“Nothing About Me, Without Me” is a youth-led European initiative designed to amplify the voices of young people with intellectual disabilities through digital storytelling, media production, and civic participation. The project focuses on ensuring young people with intellectual disabilities are not only included in discussions about democracy, citizenship, and European values — but actively leading them.

Sustainable Development
This project gives young people the tools, skills, and platforms to speak up for themselves. It works for the UN Global Goals by helping to deliver a good education for everyone (SDG 4) and connecting young people, organisations, and communities across Europe to work together (SDG 17). The project helps build strong communities (SDG 16) and helps create a fairer world (SDG 10).
