Changemakers for European Democracy: 01/03/2023 – 30/06/2024

The project brought together 70 youth leaders from seven partner countries: Italy, Estonia, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Cyprus, and Slovakia. Its aim was to promote and strengthen European democracy and citizenship by encouraging youth participation in democratic processes, enhancing the capacities of associations that promote active citizenship, and raising awareness of European institutions. Activities included training sessions, educational initiatives, opinion polls, online consultations, and simulations of the European Parliament. The project also focused on combating fake news, populism, racism, and xenophobia, utilizing digital technologies to increase civic engagement. Participants gained valuable knowledge of the EU, improved their communication skills, and had opportunities to visit the European Parliament and interact with representatives of European institutions.
