The majority of young Europeans still feel that their voice does not count in the EU; their knowledge on the functioning of the EU institutions and how to be involved in civic and democratization process is still insufficient. The project is very pertinent to partner EU countries, where – according to a 2017 Eurobarometer survey – the share of people who do not feel as EU citizens increased. Such factors are complicating the EU’s ability to deal with a multitude of internal and external challenges. Therefore, the project’s overall objective is to empower European citizenship and to encourage youths involved in the democratic life of Europe, in particular by motivating them to participate in the 2019 EP Elections.
OBJECTIVE:
The main purpose of this youth exchange is to empower European citizenship and to encourage youths involved in the democratic life of Europe, in particular by motivating them to participate in the 2019 EP Elections.
