TALKNATION

DEBATE. ACT. PROGRESS.

TALKNATION was created to cultivate informed and engaged citizens who actively contribute to the democratic fabric of the European Union.


We focus on critical thinking, informed participation in democratic life and inclusivity. We strive to make democracy accessible and meaningful for all, helping to shape a resilient society, one conscious person at a time.

Activate Your Citizen Power

What We Do

Trainings and Mentoring

Our hands-on training empowers individuals and teams to think critically, engage meaningfully, and create positive change—whether in your neighborhood, your country, or across Europe.

You don't have to be into politics. Yet, you are, want it or not, part of the community and the society you live in. 

Stop wondering. Start doing. 

Not sure where to begin? We'll guide you through your first act of civic participation.

Big or small - you choose. 

To us, every democratic action counts. 

Diversity in Action: Fun, Fair, For All

Your differences make us stronger. Equitable opportunities for all—regardless of abilities, nature or backgrounds—are at the heart of democracy and European values. But diversity doesn't come without challenges. That's why we create safe spaces where mainstream and vulnerable communities can meet, collaborate, and thrive together.

Politics for People Who Don't Do Politics

Online Masterclass

You are 'not into politics'. Yet, you worry seeing the news. You are upset with the rocketing prices. You feel frustrated seeing the garbage in your neighbourhood … Deep down, you care. You want things to change. Still, maybe you think your voice doesn't matter? Or you don't know where to start?

You are not alone—and you're not powerless. You can make a difference. In fact, it's easier than you think.

Join our short, powerful online masterclass and discover how to turn your frustration into action.

  • Find your voice: Work with experts to uncover your personal values and connect them to your community and country.
  • Cut through the noise: Learn to spot facts and distinguish them from opinion. Understand what really upsets you about politics and society.
  • Take your first step: If you feel ready, we'll support you in your first act of participation—no pressure, you choose.

Small groups - personal attention. We'll explore real examples from your country and the EU, focusing on the public figures whom you recognize and who shape your life with their decisions.

Bonus: End with a free consultation to help you find your path to participation—with less stress and more confidence.

Journey 2 Work

Social Diversity Project

Project Duration: Aug 2025 - Dec 2026

Thanks to funding under the EU Erasmus+ programme, we have partnered with organisations from Belgium and Bulgaria Our volunteers and experts exchange experiences and embark on a shared challenge of moving closer to the job market - together with ten people with mental disabilities - a vulnerable group which turned out to be more resilient than we thought.

Journey 2 Work supports adults with mental disabilities in Belgium and Bulgaria through tailored social skill-building and employment exploration.

By cultivating social and work-related skills, Journey to Work embodies meaningful integration and provides valuable insights into supporting adults with mental disabilities in the workforce.

Social Skills Development: Participants engage in online exchanges, fostering interaction between people with disabilities and their care providers, followed by a real-world experience during an international trip.

Employment Exploration: Through experiential learning, participants explore job opportunities suited to their abilities and engage in a public debate with stakeholders on employment challenges, contributing to a broader understanding of regulatory issues.

Exchange of experience: Experts from the partner organisations, in consulatation with representatives of businesses engaging people with disabilities, conducted a comparative analysis of the leguslation and practicalities for professional realisation of those with mental disabilities in Bulgaria and Belgium. 

Educative Content Design: The experts from  vzw De Poel, the BG Association for Support of People with Mental Disabilities and TALKNATION asbl laid down the methodological framework for the key deliverables of the project: online and in-person peer exchanges among people with mental disabilities. These turned out empowering and fun, for participants and social mentors alike!

Different abilities and language differences don't have to be a barrier!

Testimonials

Ioana, 39, Volunteer, 

Romania-Belgium

"I truly appreciated the opportunity to attend a conference at the European Commission Info Centre, organised by one of the staff currently with TALKNATION. The forum provided valuable insights into EU policies for young people. Our collaboration with Tatiana on digital communication materials, project evaluation, and reporting across two projects was smooth, productive, and pleasant." 

Maite, 26, Project Participant and Intern, Belgium

"I participated in a project on sustainable tourism designed and organised by the people now working with TALKNATION. I enjoyed the international dimension of the project, meeting other young people from Belgium and Croatia, and travelling and volunteering together abroad. I also really appreciated the conferences and activities during the day on sustainability and participating in a beach clean-up with another local organization. Working as an intern for 5 months was a great experience: I learned by doing, about international project management and the organization of Erasmus+ projects on environmental and social issues, which are of great interest and important causes to me."

Nhan, 20, Project Participant,

Viet Nam-Belgium

The tolerance and activism project I joined opened a whole new space to explore cultural awareness and sharpen my reasoning skills through diverse modules and interactive methods. We had an incredible chance to develop our digital skills and turn our ideas into a concrete outcome: a digital course on inclusivity and activism, created under the inspiring mentorship of Ms. Levceva. I especially valued the tailored visits to different EU institutions, which offered a hands-on look at how the EU works every day to uphold democracy and defend people's rights at both regional and global levels. We also took part in a 20km Brussels half-marathon to raise awareness of the needs of one particularly vulnerable group: people with mental disabilities. It was a powerful experience to run alongside like-minded people through Brussels, the capital of Europe, united by a shared commitment to inclusion and social change.

TALKNATION - ГОВОРЕЩАТА НАЦИЯ

↑ English


ОБСЪЖДАЙ. ДЕЙСТВАЙ. НАПРЕДВАЙ.


TALKNATION обединява хора, които вярват, че информираният разговор променя обществото. Инициативата развива активни, осъзнати граждани, които участват в общия европейски дебат и укрепват демократичната тъкан на Европейския съюз.

Мисията е да насърчава критичното мислене, информираното участие в демократичния живот и истинското приобщаване. Демокрацията се прави по-достъпна и смислена за всички, като всеки човек е подкрепен да опознае себе си, да осъзнае избора си и така да участва уверено и градивно в живота на своята страна.


Активирай гражданската си сила

С какво се занимаваме


Обучение и наставничество

Нашето практическо обучение дава възможност на всеки – индивидуални граждани, групи съмишленици или професионални екипи -да мислят критично, да се ангажират смислено и да създават положителна промяна — в квартала ви, в града или селото ви, в страната или из цяла Европа.

Спри да се чудиш. Действай!

Не е нужно да се интересуваш от политика. Но ти живееш в общност – в семейство, в квартал, сред приятели или колеги. Но искаш или не ти СИ общността и обществото и определяш какви са – поведението си, с избора си.

Разнообразие в действие: Животът ни събира. Сигурно е за добро! 

Разликите ни правят по-силни. Равните възможности за всички, независимо от способностите, идентичността или произхода – това е основата на демокрацията и европейските ценности. Но многообразието носи и своите предизвикателства. Затова създаваме безопасна за всички и неангажираща среда, в която хора от различни и уязвими общности могат да се срещат, да се забавляват и да се развиват заедно.

Готови ли сте да станете част от промяната? Присъединете се към нашите социални проекти. При нас подкрепата за другия често преминава във веселба или някое приключение заедно.

Граждански партньорства: Идеята – от вас, подкрепата – от нас

Имате проект, който обединява хората?
Никога не е късно да действате. Започнете отнякъде — ние сме до вас.

Организираме и подкрепяме инициативи, водени от граждани. Ако имате идея, която обединява хората и прави обществото по-добро — но имате нужда от помощ по администрацията, с контакти или друго — свържете се с нас.

По-малко объркване. Повече яснота.
