YOU(TH) 4 EU: PARTICIPATION AND EUROPEAN VALUES OF TOMORROW

ongoing

"The project aims to implement the EU Youth Dialogue in Italy during the 11th and 12th cycles (2025–2027), and focuses on youth empowerment by engaging young individuals in democratic processes and contributing to policy development at all levels. This initiative aligns with the objectives of the EU Youth Strategy by promoting inclusivity, gender equality, and civic engagement, particularly targeting vulnerable youth groups. Under the theme of the 11th cycle, ""Connecting EU with Youth,"" the project will foster meaningful dialogue between young people and policymakers to strengthen their sense of belonging to society and to the European Union. The activities will encourage equal participation, guarantee openness to diverse voices, and promote the inclusion of underrepresented groups. By providing occasions for collaboration, the project will facilitate the exchange of ideas and recommendations to enhance youth policies at all levels. Although the theme for the 12th cycle is yet to be determined, the project activities will be adapted to address emerging priorities while continuing to deepen on the topics of participation and inclusion. Over the course of three years, the initiative will empower young people with the skills and knowledge to engage in policy-design processes, promote active citizenship, and contribute to creating a more democratic, inclusive, and resilient Europe. Through workshops, consultations, participatory round tables, and collaborative activities, the project will inspire young Italians to shape their future and vigorously contribute to a better Europe."
