ACT NOW

We are ACT NOW, an international network of mayors, experts and young people aiming to improve social cohesion, citizen engagement and youth empowerment on a local level – run by @politicsawards. We support local politicians in tackling the current challenges they face, such as migration flows, the climate crisis, and increasing social division resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As the Institute’s competence centre for social cohesion, citizen engagement and youth empowerment, and focuses on the local level, we have established an international network of mayors, experts from civil society, and young people from Europe, the Middle East, Turkey and Northern Africa, who share their knowledge and experience in an effort to improve wellbeing for all.
