Mission and objectives

Creating a space for youth to discuss political, economic, and social topics independently of partisan affiliations.

Main activities with youth

Monthly political, social, and economic talks are held in coffee shops around the city. 

Their story

Founded by a 19-year-old law student, “Let’s Talk Politics” emerged as a platform for young people to explore diverse political perspectives. The platform aims to help participants challenge the culture of inherited ideologies and instead develop their own rationalized opinions. The initiative ceased activities in 2023 but remains a testament to the power of dialogue and youth engagement.

Constituency

Youth form both the organising team and attendees of the discussion sessions (17-30 years old).

They met young people online, in a public indoor place (café, municipality), or in a rented indoor venue (hotel, cultural centre).

Current management

The founder and the organising team are volunteer university students or graduates aged between 17 and 30 years old.

Use of digital tools

By promoting their upcoming discussion sessions and sharing past discussions featuring public figures and experts in the field, they aimed to disseminate knowledge and important information.
