Objective: The project aims to enable true citizens’ contribution to the democratic and civic life of the European Union by learning [about] Europe and by shaping Europe, which are its two main pillars. While the first pillar of the project will focus on European Civic Education and raising awareness on EU values and opportunities for European youth from all backgrounds, the second pillar will enable youth to put into practice what they have learned through the knowledge-building pillar, and debate relevant topics surrounding their hopes and dreams for the future of Europe.
The overall objectives of this project are to encourage youth to remain involved in European Democracy in the aftermath of EP election 2024, and to inform young people about the EU through non-formal education methodologies and to empower them to use their voice to actively engage with decision-makers.
Furthermore, it will equip teachers and educators with the skills to become multipliers of spreading EU values among their pupils. The project will additionally strengthen meaningful participation among European youth organisations, given their prominent role as connectors between European youth and stakeholders/institutions. Finally, it will inspire European youth to become catalysts for change in developing a future European Union that is inclusive and representative of young voices.
