VOYCE – Values and Opinions of Young Communities in Europe

VOYCE project – is an international project co- funded from Erasmus+ Programme. Its goal is to put young people in the driver’s seat and give them the necessary tools to make a change in their societies.

VOYCE project aims to give young people a platform to realise positive social change. Participants from all over Europe will form working groups in their home countries to discuss global issues. The project will involve:

✅ Trainings for youth leaders – so they could better support young people in their growth;

✅ Local Working Groups – so the young participants would connect, discuss given topics and engage in civic life.

TOPICS OF THE LOCAL WORKSHOPS:

✅ VOYCE Social Hackathon – so the participants from different countries could come together for a week and find possible solutions to current issues youth is facing nowadays;

✅ project ideas platform – so the ideas could come into life and be presented to the general public!

✅ VOYCE Closing event!

VOYCE aims to create a structured dialogue with other organisations in the field of active citizenship. VOYCE is working with organisations that work with people with fewer opportunities, so that our VOYCE programme can reach those who need it most.

VOYCE project results will form new concrete proposals and common policy frameworks.
