YOUTH ACTION FOR EUROPE

PROJECT SUMMARY: Youth Action for Europe will empower young people to become active citizens and through the activities to contribute to the sustainable development of democratic societies across Europe. The project will encourage civil responsibility and engage young people in the civic life of their communities. It will facilitate the development of the necessary skills, knowledge, values and motivation to change their lives and make a positive change in their communities. Through civic and non-formal education, young people from six European countries will develop their soft and leadership skills such as civic awareness, critical and analytical thinking, intercultural competences, promoting European citizenship and engaging in the social and democratic life of their communities. This will raise young people’s awareness of democracy, human rights and increase their civic participation. The project will contribute to the improvement of the work of youth organisations in promoting democratic values and building competencies in young people for the active contribution to society.
