Youth is EU is an Erasmus+ KA3 European Youth Together project designed to raise awareness among young people about how the European Union operates and to highlight the vital role of youth in shaping Europe’s development strategy. The project aims to promote EU citizenship through factual information, critical thinking, and knowledge, while encouraging democratic participation and civic engagement among young people.
The initiative produces engaging digital content, including podcasts and videos, and organises local creative events such as poetry slams and flash mobs. Additionally, it features an interactive platform where young people can share ideas and vote on future EU-related initiatives. Selected youth participants are empowered to act as ambassadors, amplifying the project’s impact among their peers.
By employing innovative communication strategies and fostering active participation, Youth is EU enhances young people’s skills in media creation, active citizenship, and policy engagement.
