A circle of youth for the Europe we want
Context
To reach their maximum potential, the EU’s youth needs more refined competencies, tools, networking possibilities and best practices. The project’s main objective is to increase youth participation in civic life, foster cross-border mobility and increase youth cooperation in projects. In partner countries, we have identified that young people can be reluctant to engage in collaboration outside their local environment or share ideas and information – which is a basis for the COHERENT project’s needs analysis.
Our project will focus on 3 main EU YOUTH goals and investigate them from different points of view. Current circumstances are challenging and have shaken up societies, welfare systems, and economies. This is in line with the EU barometer, where 67% of youth priority is “protecting the environment and climate change”, followed by “improving education” (56%). This premise represents an important factor for future EU development and networking, which need to be structured and extrapolated. ‘Future of Europe’ emphasises that the youth felt disconnected by civil engagement, and that promotion of knowledge and competency building is key.
Aim of the project
The overall aim of the program is to offer suggestions to improve EU-level Youth policies. Our project will focus on learning more about goals.
