Strengthening the next generation of civil society leaders in Venezuela

SINERGIA will support young leaders, youth organisations and grassroots collectives in Venezuela to strengthen their role in civil society and democratic participation.
 
In a context where civic space faces institutional, legal and operational restrictions, the project will combine practical training, intergenerational mentoring, evidence generation and youth-led advocacy. Participants will build skills in documentation, strategic communication, campaigns and evidence-based advocacy, while receiving support from experienced organisations within SINERGIA’s network.
 
The project will also support the development of advocacy products, including digital campaigns, analytical documents and awareness-raising actions. One group of young activists, particularly women, will produce a report on the differentiated impact of the humanitarian emergency on women in Venezuela.
 
Through this work, SINERGIA aims to strengthen emerging civil society leadership, amplify local and youth-led narratives, and contribute to the defence of civic space and meaningful participation in public debate.
