Priorities and funded actions
Objective
To organise two local European Youth Events, in two different Member States, by two different organisations.
Priorities
Priority 1 – Connect the EP to its younger citizens, establish a regular engagement process with young people, notably by encouraging them to register on the together.eu platform of the European Parliament.
Priority 2 – Raise awareness on the importance of voting in the next European parliamentary elections in 2024 as an essential part of their active citizenship in shaping the future of Europe.
Priority 3 – Pay special attention to reaching out to minority communities from peripheral regions of Europe and citizens that normally don’t have so much contact with the EU and are less likely to already be involved in EU actions.
Among financed actions
