EU for youth

The idea of this method is the analysis of current youth opportunities provided by the European Union. The purpose of this analysis is informing, empowering and awareness-raising the youth about the opportunities offered by the EU and its mechanism that young people can utilize for their progress.

The European Union was founded as a supranational organization that promotes particular values like solidarity and tolerance. However, it offers opportunities to every group within society, consequently to the youth as well. Nevertheless, the youth is not aware of the actual roles of the European Union in society. Therefore, it is crucial to raise awareness about the European Union in general and, in particular, the opportunities for the youth. For this reason, it is significant to inform and raise awareness of the youth about using the tools of the European Union for their progress along with the economic, social, and environmental progress of society.

In the central part, the facilitator presents opportunities for young people created from the EU such as the mechanisms that ensure mobility. He then divides the participants into groups and gives them group tasks, but in two rounds. In the first round, participants research the possibility for youth mobility. And in the second round, participants explore EU projects that enable their activation in their local community. After each round their research is presented to the rest of the participants.

The facilitator applies researched good practices, which were mentioned by the participants, in his / her final report, but he/she also adds some of his / her good practices prepared before the training.
