Objectives

This project addresses the lack of information about democratic institutions, particularly the European parliamentary system, and the low youth participation in democracy (especially in elections) due to a perceived lack of representation of their interests. We aim to overcome these deficiencies by providing young people with knowledge beyond textbooks and promoting learning through non-formal education, digital tools, the development of critical thinking, and direct encounters with politicians. OBJECTIVES: -Bring the EU closer to the lives of young people, showcasing its benefits. -Understand parliamentary systems in Europe and the EU as a form of democratic participation. -Explore different proposals from political groups through dialogue with young people. -Develop project management skills for Erasmus+ projects among participating organizations. -Show participatory non-formal education methods to motivate young people to become more active civically.
