EUROPE 2.0

The aim of the project EUROPE 2.0 (2022-3-EL02-KA154-YOU-000097446) is to train young people to give back to the community and implement projects for the good of the community, promoting European values and the ideals of youth participation and strengthening democracy. We will do these things in the most European way, training well the young people who will go to train young people today, just as the students who went to France returned to Romania with new ideas, the same phenomenon is used by Erasmus projects to consolidate ideas. We will train 30 young people who will return to their local regional and national communities with proposals they have developed at European level and will transmit to at least 150 young people directly through the activities that will follow the ideas they will learn from this project. The target group we are addressing is a niche group of young people selected to develop information hubs in communities affected by certain social deficits that could lead to populist exploitation of Eurosceptic ideas. We want to create a 3-pillar Erasmus project: preparing young people in the first part of the project with concepts about participation in society, political thinking and how societies work; drafting proposals for the development of the European Union from their own perspective as young people and presenting them in the second part of the project in Greece; and in the third part of the project disseminating ideas and exchanging best practices in the community they come from, whether it is a local, regional or national community. The activities will take place on three levels: Politics, European recognition and the development of European ideas. The activities will prepare young people with a set of knowledge and skills to be able to formulate proposals for their participation in public life, to take part in debates supporting their own ideas and, finally, to make proposals for the development of the European Union. They will present them to the European Parliament and the European Commission and support them through lobbying. At the end, they will return to their communities and develop projects by disseminating the information gained from the project.
