YOUTH – EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP AND VALUES

“YOUTH – EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP AND VALUES”
ERASMUS + Youth Exchange (KA152-YOU)

CONTEXT: The concept of European Citizenship is deeply connected with the ideals of democracy, participation and human rights in Europe and beyond. On the one hand, many young people express those ideals in multiple ways, as active citizens, outside and inside formal democratic structures. On the other hand, it is still a challenge to stimulate many young people to engage more in society and feel concerned by wider European or global processes.
To answer these needs Association “Youth for development of Lyaskovets” prepare this project. The association team hopes to find ways to stimulate young people to engage more in society, exploring European citizenship, and to support them as they develop their sense of belonging to the wider community, Europe, as they become concerned about, and committed to, its values, its present and its future.
