The Act.ival is made for everyone aged 16 to 23 who is active in civil society and want to change something. Your engagement can come in different types and shapes. For example, you can be active in a SAME member organization, be a member of a student council or a political youth party, or you can be an activist, a sport group trainer, a trainer in a youth club, involved in your local fire brigade or in assisting elderly people. Simply put, there are many ways to engage!
