Citizenship education empowers individuals to make informed decisions and take responsibility for their lives and communities. It equips young people with valuable soft skills sought by employers, enhances their understanding of the political, legal, and economic aspects of society, fosters social and moral awareness, and contributes to character development. Despite its immense benefits, citizenship education remains absent from the educational curricula of most European countries. As a result, recent reports highlight concerning trends among Europeans, particularly the youth, on diminished trust in democratic institutions and political representatives, eroding community ties, a lack of interest and knowledge in economic, social, and political matters, reduced voter turnout, and only partial understanding or involvement in decision-making processes. There is also a sense of disconnection from the common European identity and values, visible through the election of far-right populist parties across several European countries that regularly display public xenophobic, anti-immigrant, discriminative and nationalist tendencies. In communication with our partner organisations, we have recognized the importance and role of our organisations in addressing these issues through our youth work. We all agreed that we have the potential to inspire, educate, train, and engage young people in citizenship education, encouraging their active participation in society, through using non-formal learning and peer-to-peer methodologies. However, we have identified a pressing need to improve our organisations' capacities in this field and equip our youth workers with the necessary skills and tools to design and implement quality activities that promote youth engagement, active citizenship, and participation in democratic and community life, all while nurturing a sense of European identity and values. We have also identified the need to exchange good practices and establish future sustainable cooperation and partnerships between European organisations working in the field of citizenship education, active citizenship and youth participation. As these issues are transnational and concern most European countries, the need to address them through transnational mobility project was evident. The main aim of the project was to train and empower 27 youth workers to become youth activators who will create, advocate and facilitate opportunities and mechanisms for improving youth participation on local, national and European levels through citizenship education and non-formal learning. To achieve this, the project had the following objectives: - To educate participants about the concepts, dimensions, meanings and understandings of citizenship education and European citizenship as well as ways how they can be meaningfully transferred to young people; - To analyse and compare current situations and challenges of youth participation in democratic processes in participating countries through case studies and practical examples; - To showcase and provide concrete methods and approaches for encouraging active participation of young people in democratic processes on all levels; - To share and exchange experiences and good practices between youth workers for advancing youth participation and citizenship education in the participating European Union and South-Eastern European countries; - To design, practice and evaluate non-formal learning activities that youth workers can use to improve youth participation on all levels and that are improving young people's awareness to common European issues as well as the feeling of ownership and belonging to Europe; - To provide space to youth workers for strong intercultural learning, improvement of competencies and development of multiplying initiatives that they can implement in their local communities; - To promote the Erasmus+ programme as a provider for youth participation activities and Youthpass as a recognition tool for non-formal and informal learning in youth work, - To establish sustainable international cooperation between 9 organisations working on the promotion of citizenship education, European citizenship and youth participation, which will serve as a base for further activities and projects.
