    Erasmus+Youth Participation Activities

    Erasmus+ supports youth-led local, national and transnational participation projects run by informal groups of young people and/or youth organisations encouraging youth participation in Europe’s democratic life.

     

    Activities should follow one or more of the following objectives:

    • provide young people with opportunities to engage and learn to participate in civic society (providing pathways of engagement for young people in their daily lives but also in democratic life, aiming for a meaningful civic, economic, social, cultural and political participation of young people from all backgrounds, with special focus on those with fewer opportunities);
    • raise young people’s awareness about European common values and fundamental rights and contribute to the European integration process, including through contribution to the achievement of one or more of the EU Youth Goals;
    • develop young people’s digital competences and media literacy (in particular critical thinking and the ability to assess and work with information) with a view to increasing young people’s resilience to disinformation, fake news and propaganda, as well as their capacity to participate in democratic life;
    • bring together young people and decision makers at local, regional, national and transnational level and/or contribute to the EU Youth Dialogue.

    What kind of activities

    Activities can be face-to-face or online workshops and/or meetings, seminars, debates, consultations, awareness-raising campaigns, virtual and onsite events, role-play simulations.

    They can be either transnational (implemented in one or more participating countries and involving partners from several participating countries) or national (implemented at local, regional or national level and involving informal group(s) of young people and/or organisations from a single participating country).
