The main goal of the Born in the UE! project was to offer young people with fewer opportunities living in the “Etrusco-Cimina” inner area the same chances for growth, mobility and European participation as their peers. The project was created after observing that in these small rural municipalities the knowledge of European programmes is almost completely absent: none of the interviewed young people had ever heard of DiscoverEU and only a small percentage knew Erasmus+, often in a very superficial way. The initiative therefore aimed to bridge an informational and cultural gap that effectively excludes these young people from crucial opportunities for personal development and active citizenship. The project pursued four main objectives. 1. Promote European citizenship and the sense of belonging to the EU. Through a preparatory learning pathway and a symbolic journey across key European capitals and historical sites, the project intended to help participants understand what it means to be EU citizens, which common values unite Member States, and from which tragedies and achievements the European Union was born. 2. Reach and involve young people with fewer opportunities. The project aimed to engage young people with a migrant background, economic disadvantage or living in remote areas, addressing the obstacles that normally prevent them from applying to DiscoverEU on their own. Specific actions were therefore planned, including targeted information, mediation with families, personalised support and the presence of accompanying persons. 3. Foster the development of personal and social competences. All phases – preparation, travel and follow-up – were designed as a non-formal educational experience. Participants had the opportunity to develop soft skills such as communication, autonomy, organisational ability, teamwork, time management and critical thinking, as well as linguistic, digital and cultural competences. 4. Create a replicable model of youth inclusion through European mobility. UNISCO aimed to design a process that could be repeated over the years, helping to embed a culture of European participation in the local community by involving schools, associations, families and local authorities. The project was therefore conceived not only as a travel experience for 10 young people, but as a broader investment in the territory, with the goal of strengthening social cohesion and fostering openness towards Europe. In summary, the project sought to ensure that young people who rarely access such opportunities could experience a transformative journey, acquire new skills and feel part of the European Union, while contributing to making their community more inclusive, modern and aware.
