Objectives

"Grow up to vote" is our common project – youth from Poland, Bulgaria, and Lithuania. The main topics of our initiative are European citizenship, European awareness, active and responsible citizenship, and youth policy. Through our activities, we would like to gain new knowledge, competencies, and attitudes, which allow us to become more aware and active citizens, who will participate in elections and to the same, we would like to motivate and encourage our peers from local communities. The aims of our project are: - to broaden knowledge about youth policy, to exchange good practices and experience in this field, and to become more aware of our needs, which we would like to fulfill through active civic engagement; - exchange of experience in the field of active citizenship and development of ideas for the active involvement of our peers in civic life; - to gain and broaden knowledge about the European Parliament elections, and to get familiar with the tasks and duties of a Member of the European Parliament; - to broaden knowledge about elections at various levels; - to become conscious voters who will be able to give their vote in elections in the near future; - to broaden knowledge about the activities and duties of the Councilor and Youth City Council; - to become more aware, responsible citizens and Europeans who actively engage in civic life and make conscious and thoughtful decisions based on experience and knowledge; - to make our peers from local communities aware of the importance of involving young people in civic life and active participation in elections; - to motivate young people from our communities to deepen their knowledge that will allow them to make thoughtful and right choices; to establish a dialogue with decision-makers and to actively engage in civic life;
