The primary focus of the Foundation will be on the following: - Boosting active European citizenship, citizens’ engagement and democratic participation in shaping the future of the EU. - Countering, fighting disinformation and increasing citizens’ media literacy; increasing citizens’ participation in countering disinformation. - Promoting EU citizenship rights and spreading European values. Activities will lead to strengthening the internal structure of the Foundation and enhancing its position as centre of advocacy for European integration and active European citizenship.
