Project Description
The Youth Voices project aims to reduce political disaffection among young people by fostering active citizenship and civic engagement. To achieve this, it focuses on four key objectives: reducing youth political disengagement by encouraging participation in democratic life, enhancing civic education and political literacy, promoting active citizenship through community involvement, and increasing understanding of the European Union and its institutions. These efforts align with priorities on civic engagement, participation, and youth entrepreneurship. The project will produce key results, including insights on youth political perspectives, a learning program, an online hub, educational content, an ideathon report, and a Youth Voices event.
