Building tomorrow's European Union: civic engagement and mobilizing Europe's youth.
Participants:
A network of young ambassadors from all over Europe proposing events in your communities on issues of concern to European citizens.
Brief of the project:
As part of our project "Building the European Union of tomorrow: Civic engagement and mobilization of European youth", we would like to :
- Introduce young people to European institutions and help them understand the benefits and workings of the EU, as well as the tools and projects that are useful to them. - The benefits and workings of the EU, and the tools and projects that are useful to them (Erasmus, Leonard, Europass, the European Solidarity Corps, etc.).
- Encourage young people, especially the most disadvantaged and marginalized, to get involved in the democratic life of the EU, notably through elections and the together.eu platform.
- Reaching Europe's most vulnerable and uninformed populations, who we already serve through the missions of our volunteers in the field.
- Young trainees can also develop other topics according to their own interests: fake news, European culture, protection of minorities and European law, to name but a few and/or topics identified as priorities in the member state of arrival. This work will help them understand how jobs, the environment and other issues important to them depend on the vote to recompose the European Parliament every 5 years.
