Objectives

Many young people care about societal challenges but often feel too powerless or unqualified to drive change, partly due to a lack of structured opportunities for civic participation. Existing channels for youth political engagement beyond voting—such as youth councils or party-affiliated groups—are frequently inaccessible, exclusive, or distrusted, limiting their impact. This project aims to create an inclusive space where young Europeans can exchange ideas and experiences, develop civic skills, and explore new or reformed ways of adressing youth topics. Through dialogue, collaboration, and direct interaction with public figures, participants will gain hands-on experience in active citizenship and policymaking. Ultimately, the project seeks to empower young people to play an active role in decision-making at local, national, and EU levels, and develop their skills necessary for such an engagement in an effective manner.
