The project “Equal rights?!” arose from the idea of creating an European participation project for young people with fewer opportunities, which is designed in such a way that ALL young people (regardless of what educational background they have or whether they have already experiences or competences) have the opportunity to participate. The project focussed on the young people themselves and their topics which they actively contributed, while receiving as much support and safetiness as needed. The participants of the core group of the project were all of them young people with fewer opportunities, a target group that is clearly underrepresented in terms of participation in democratic life at Local, National and European level. For our young people, “the EU” is far away from their reality, while at the same time many European factors influence their daily life. The theme "Equal Rights?!" was the result of the topics that concern the participants. Young people from our organizations asked questions such as, "What rights do we have and do all really have the same rights?" (which included topics like diversity, equal opportunities, sense of justice, etc.) and was designed in such a way that various specific focal points were developed in the process with the participants. The aim of the project was to create a non-formal, low-threshold access for this target group in order to make Europe tangible and to exchange ideas about topics relevant to both themselves and young people from another country, making their positions visible. The perspectives and results were discussed and shared with decision-makers and the public and are intended to have an impact beyond the youth directly involved in the project. The project framework and the professional pedagogical support in the project should provide the necessary resources to create learning spaces for participation and to make involvement in the social discourse and life tangible. Where possible, responsibility and freedom to design the project were transferred to the young people.
