General objective was: to define a path of "Civic Education" functional to Europe and the culture of peace, progress and nonviolence. Specific objectives were: 1) building a civic culture based on information, education and the will to create together both an advanced, more just and supportive society based on the culture of respect for oneself and for others; 2) insist on the possibility of a life in common beyond ethnic, cultural, ideological and religious diversity; 3) closely coordinate the different realities so that young students can compare the different living conditions, dimensions and local habits. Other objectives were: 1) facilitate dialogue starting from the micro-reality; 2) evaluate and know the different behavioral models; 3) establish a European youth council that constantly monitors the civic "norms" that facilitate cultural and occupational exchange between nations. These objectives seemed to meet most the selected priorities: either horizontal (common values, civic engagement and participation) or specific for higher and school education: promoting the interconnection between educational institutions; promoting innovative practices of learning and teaching; developing key competencies.
Once the European Union is created, the challenge is to educate citizens to overcome national borders and constraints to embrace a broader and more comprehensive idea of citizenship. The 2018 European Commission document on "Situation of Young People in The European Union" shows that the idea of the lack of interest in politics of young people “might hold true for traditional modes of participation, increasing numbers of young Europeans are exploring new routes to political engagement and expression". Even if young people show the highest level of growth in self-identification as European citizens among generations, according to them the democratic participation gains the last position in the hierarchy of priorities for EU. The Commission document suggests that, as citizens of the European Union, "young people attach the highest importance to issues that have a tangible impact on the quality of their lives" . This project aimed at making young people aware of the importance of common and democratic values in the development of a true European citizenship, meeting the needs to inform about European Union matters as well as to create a stronger link between the Union and its youngest citizens.
