The ParticipaTEEN project has been awarded funding under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV-2025-CHILD). The project brings together a transnational consortium of seven organisations from Hungary and Romania. The consortium is led by the Municipality of Újbuda (Budapest’s District XI), with the Child Opportunities Research Group participating in the work as a consortium partner. The project’s goal is to co-create effective, inclusive, systemic and sustainable mechanisms with teenagers that empower them to take an active role in shaping their communities.
