How to empower young citizens of autocracies without threatening their freedom and security? Our answer is to integrate them in global democratic social networks «patronized» by a supranational institutional framework, namely the UN. Engaging the UN in young collaboration results in a potentially significant increase in the costs of repressing and punishing those whose actions are aimed towards democratization in their countries. Creating a cobweb of young people inspired by the struggle with injustice, discrimination, or dictatorship serves three essential goals.

First, spreading democratic values among new generations forced to live in autocratic societies. Due to intensive interactions dedicated to solving social problems young people will adopt values that are needed for starting democratizing processes.

Second, when we speak about autocracies, we should remember that political opposition and even citizens who do not agree with a particular policy-violating their rights usually suffer from a deficit of both financial and mobilization resources. The mechanism that allows people to find interested partners from a variety of regions with another political context and thereby build teams of politically diverse social entrepreneurs whose efforts are directed at one common goal will compensate for limits of social mobilizations. The mechanism of subsidizing projects and proposals with the means of UNDEF or numerous NGOs will fill up the financial scarcity. Therefore, the Big Collaboration Project may become a springboard for launching projects that are essential for beginning social change in autocracies because one of the most serious hurdles is being eliminated.

Thirdly, the BCP whose «legitimacy» comes from the UN among cooperation with NGOs and citizens from the globe, will more or less guarantee the personal safety of change-makers in autocratic countries. Repressions against them will be suspended by quite high reputation costs and the risk of sanctions from the outside. Hence, more citizens of autocratic states will use the BCP to take even small steps to change in their countries because it will be less risky than before. Furthermore, the BCP is not a direct pathway to democratization, that is to say, this is not as radical as full-scale rallies. The BCP is a beachhead for «small things» which are crucial for slow but confident moving to democratization.

Now, we should clarify the mechanism. The platform will be organized as a fair. The target group is young people at the age of 16-24 (the range might be corrected) from democracies and autocracies. When one notices a significant social problem, they come up with an idea of how to solve it and applies it to a proposal or project via the BCP. The staff will evaluate the application and if it faces the requirements the proposal will be placed on the site. Then this application gets visible for users (also young people who are interested in supporting democratization) who can join the team. The team can get the UN and NGO`s financial and guiding support for implementing the measures. Such collaboration will lead to adopting democratic values, launching safe but not sponsored by the state social and political activity in autocracies. Overall, these may arouse democratic forces in autocratic countries and will facilitate democracy promotion.
