“YOUth lead the future!” – Project Completion

We are excited to share the successful closure of our Erasmus+ KA210 project “YOUth lead the future!” (2023-3-EL02-KA210-YOU-000176965) — a transnational initiative focused on strengthening youth participation, civic engagement, and social inclusion, especially for young people with fewer opportunities.

The project brought together partners from four countries — EN.O Greece (Coordinator), FreeMinds in Action (Italy), Asociația HESSA (Romania), and Asociación de cooperación al desarrollo ABARKA (Spain), and— with a shared mission to empower young people and youth workers with innovative tools for democratic participation.

Our Key Outcome: The Learning Guide Throughout the project, we co-developed a comprehensive Learning Guide for Civic Engagement and Youth Participation — a modular, open-access educational tool for youth workers, educators, trainers, and NGOs. The guide was piloted, tested, and improved through international and local activities and is now available for free use, adaptation, and dissemination.

The Learning Guide includes:

• 12 modules covering civic education, youth empowerment, digital advocacy, intercultural dialogue, and more
• Non-formal methods and practical exercises
• Tips for implementation at local, national, and European levels
• A structure adaptable for both online and in-person youth work activities

The guide was presented at major events including the DARE Network’s General Assembly & TrendsLab (Berlin) and the Dialogue of Emerging Leaders Conference (Rabat), reaching stakeholders from across Europe and the Mediterranean.

It is also available in SALTO Toolbox and in the Erasmus+ Project Results Platform.

This is not the end! We plan to continue building on the project’s outcomes, expand the reach of the guide, and engage in future initiatives that respond to the challenges and needs we explored during this journey.

A heartfelt thank you to all participants, partners, trainers, and supporters who made this project possible.
