This is based on the historical similarities between the three countries in terms of the configuration of a modern state and the development of full democracy in each context. This problem is based on the study carried out by young Spaniards on official and academic data on youth participation in politics, in relation to youth participation in politics. The problem to be addressed is the lack of understanding and political participation of young people in formal political spaces and institutions, a situation linked to the lack of understanding and trust in these spaces. Therefore, it is necessary that young people (between 15 and 30 years old) who make up 17.6% of the population (as of 2016) become more and better involved in formal political spaces. The aim is to build on the participants' knowledge, doubts, expectations and criticisms of national and European democratic dynamics in order to generate a common understanding of these elements and a critical appropriation of them. Although politics is important for young people, there is no connection with institutional mechanisms such as voting in elections, formal participation in parties, as there is a generalised institutional distrust. The situation is different in the three countries: on the one hand, in Spain and Italy, participation is eminently local, while in Turkey, instability generates distrust in electoral mechanisms. Likewise, with the CoVid-19 pandemic, the importance of having strengthened national and European institutions that respond promptly and adequately to social needs such as inequalities, high levels of unemployment, among others, has been observed. And therefore being able to influence such decisions is a motivating element for young people. In this sense, the objectives of the project were to generate a space for intercultural learning that allows young people to understand the importance of building a European citizenship from their differences. In order to achieve this, the aim was to recognise the values and practices that support modern democracies, and the characteristics of the European political model. Based on these objectives, a series of non-formal education activities were built before, during and after the Exchange to generate an impact on young people and stakeholders. These objectives are, to a large extent, the core of the Erasmus+ programme insofar as it is through young people's understanding of democratic principles, values and practices at local, national and EU level that the European Union and thus the Erasmus+ programme will have a future. Understanding the European Union's model of democracy and governance is crucial to strengthen its functions, improve its practices and avoid its weakening in the medium and long term. Therefore, the project "European citizenship: an intercultural bet" wanted to put young people as the main actors in their local and European environment, which has been to promote and encourage democracy, active citizenship and intercultural dialogue. Therefore, the project will start to develop from a non-formal learning on the subject, which will help the children to be active citizens and also to be able to participate in the European project.
