The main purpose of our project was to raise awareness on EU values such as human rights, freedom of expression, gender equality and to create active citizens. Europe needs more cohesive and inclusive societies which allow citizens to play an active role in democratic life. We wanted to realize this project to empower young people and their ability to participate actively in society, in line with the provisions of the Lisbon Treaty to "encourage the participation of young people in democratic life in Europe". We have used non-formal learning activities, which aims enhancing the skills and competences of young people as well as their active citizenship. Europe nowadays is facing many democratic challenges Starting from the refugee crisis, Brexit, rise of nationalist and far right parties in many of our countries.
