Activ8 & Particip8

ended

The project ˝Activ8 & Particip8˝ is intended for all citizens, but primarily the main target group is young people age 16 to 25 and secondly first-contact professionals teaching and non-teaching staff of formal and informal education, NGO´s, youth workers, activists and policy makers will be the end users of the products of the project. Project supports youth awareness and engagement into democratic participation which we will provide through empowering target groups in formal and informal education through organising events which will produce digital manuals and brochures in the form of sustainability of project results, more accurate implementation of activities after the end of EU funding. Project uses innovative methods of learning, developing civic participation and raising awareness of the usefulness and value of youth voice throughout events as well as an e-democracy learning possibilities solutions which combines information, learning, and exchange of ideas, and ultimately opens the possibility of bottom-up approach towards decision-makers. Project activities that will result in greater interest in the work of the EP will encourage citizens, especially young people, to participate in the EP elections in 2024, which is a central point for strengthening and nurturing democracy in the EU. The project will use innovative democratic approaches with the help of an simulation that serves as a tool for education but also promotes innovative approach to foster democracy among young people. The purpose of such a e-democracy tool in the sense of simulation of the European Parliament is to engage, educate and encourage youth to action through a design and content that is adjusted for a target group's features and preferences. Youth will be constantly encouraged to apply the acquired knowledge within each work package with the support of their teaching staff who will be educated on how to apply the same knowledge to other students at the end of the project.
