"Take 5 – Youth Voices for Europe" strengthens the political participation of young people at the EU level. 80 young people from the five northern German states will develop and discuss ideas and demands for our society. In direct dialogue with high-ranking politicians, these will be made visible and effectively placed. The aim is to empower and motivate young people to get to know political institutions and processes and to have positive experiences with democracy. In this way, awareness, opinion-forming, and the ability to articulate demands are strengthened. The EU becomes more tangible and accessible for young people, while politics gains insights into their living environment. Youth organizations benefit from up-to-date insights into the concerns of young people and, through the project, strengthen their networking and exchange across state borders.
