EUYOUTH4EUGOALS - AY Institute

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The EUYOUTH4EUGOALS project aims to promote engagement and cooperation among youth organizations across Europe, focusing on solidarity, inclusive democratic participation, and the empowerment of young people. It aligns with the “Engage, Connect, Empower” pillars of the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027. By implementing 11 workshops dedicated to each EU Youth Goal, the project addresses youth representation challenges, particularly those exacerbated by the Covid-19 crisis, such as social isolation, disrupted education, and mental health issues.

OBJECTIVES

Address challenges affecting youth representation and engagement in the EU, especially in light of Covid-19’s impact.
