The Speak in the Nest platform was launched in 2015, giving voice to hundreds of young people in Kosovo and an opportunity for them to learn about and get involved in electoral and political processes. The web and social media platform developed by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems and the Peer Educators Network with the support of the United States Agency for International Development became a safe space for Superchangers, modern day superheroes who, instead of fighting, build their communities.
In August 2016, IFES implemented the “Strengthening Election Administration Activity in Kosovo” project with two goals: (1) To support institutions to efficiently and independently accomplish their roles and responsibilities; and (2) To support the CEC, CEC Secretariat (CECS), and ECAP to effectively conduct local and parliamentary elections.
At the end of the program in 2016, 20 "Superchangers" took ownership of the platform and continued to moderate the platform for some time. One of the youth who took ownership aimed to continue to provide a safe space for everyone. He said they learned a lot about writing inclusive content and moderating the conversation to avoid any type of discrimination. He and some of his colleagues continue working with many civil society organizations that work toward youth empowerment.
