How well do we understand the European Union and its role in our everyday lives? How can young people become more actively involved in democratic processes and contribute to shaping Europe’s future?

“EU FOR YOU” aims to bring the European Union closer to young people by exploring its institutions, policies, values and opportunities for civic participation.

The project will bring together young people from Greece, Italy, Poland and Hungary, creating an intercultural learning environment where participants can exchange perspectives, develop new competences and reflect on their role as active European citizens.

Through non-formal education and experiential learning, participants will explore the connection between European institutions and everyday policy issues while strengthening their capacity to engage in their communities.

Project Objectives

The Youth Exchange aims to:

• Increase young people’s understanding of EU institutions and their influence on everyday life.
• Promote European values, including human dignity, freedom, democracy, the rule of law and human rights.
• Encourage active citizenship, democratic participation and youth engagement.
• Strengthen critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration and media literacy.
• Promote intercultural dialogue, mutual understanding and cooperation among young Europeans.
• Encourage participants to share their learning experiences through dissemination and follow-up activities.

What to Expect:

Participants will take part in an interactive programme based on non-formal education, peer learning and intercultural exchange.

Activities will include team-building exercises, thematic workshops, group discussions, creative activities, energisers and intercultural evenings.

Participants will also have opportunities to contribute to the learning process by preparing and facilitating activities together with their national teams.

Beyond developing knowledge and skills, the Youth Exchange offers an opportunity to meet people from different cultural backgrounds, practise English, exchange ideas and build international friendships.
