Aims & objectives

The aim was to provide young people with concrete tools and knowledge to manage the digital and green transition, cultivating and matching their talents and ambitions with the labour market requests while transferring their achieved expertise to their local communities.
The objectives were:
To engage young people from across and beyond Europe including young people from disadvantaged backgrounds;
To provide an access for young people to YEU and provide first-time experiences in international mobility;
To dismantle bias and stereotypes through fostering understanding, tolerance and intercultural learning across borders;
To build on young people’s skills development to ensure that no one is left behind;
To give young people an opportunity to achieve concrete knowledge and skills on digitalisation as well as realise their own short videos, which will be edited into a longer video to be spread across and beyond YEU Network to promote the YEU Convention among other non-organised young people in Europe.

Outcomes of the activity

Embrace the digital era by straightening the digital skills of participants and deepening social and political issues related to digitalisation.
Participants learned how to cooperate in groups while testing themselves in content-creating and problem-solving activities, by using critical and design thinking methods.
Furthermore, in light of the upcoming 2024 European elections, participants had the chance to discuss European and democracy values, youth participation, active citizenship and youth rights.
