EU4Youth2Act Academy - Capacity Building training for active citizenship
Developed as part of the EU4Youth2Act project, the Academy is a online learning platform that supports youth participation and local action across Europe.
The academy is available here: https://academy-eu4youth2act.eu/course/index.php?categoryid=1
Aims of the tool
The aim of the tool is to provide a comprehensive free-of-charge learning material made by experts and professionals in the youth field, to strengthen youth participation in their local communities, learn skills needed to manage a personal or local project and get involved in the democratic process in EU.
Description of the tool
Inside the platform, you’ll find a rich collection of resources, including learning modules on youth leadership and advocacy, stories of youth-led initiatives from across the continent, and tools to help you set up your own Social Innovation Lab using our free guidelines. All courses were co-created with regional youth experts and are available in multiple languages. They’re flexible enough for both formal and non-formal education settings — and completely free to access, with no registration barriers.
We encourage you to explore the Academy, share it with your networks, and integrate it into your programs. Together, we can strengthen youth engagement and shape a more participatory future across Europe.
Below, you will find the TOOLKIT which gives you all you need to know about youth-related programmes, policies and initiatives of the European Union.
You will also find the CIVIC ACTIVATION PACK with a great choice of on-site and online activities that you can try out with your students - supporting 5 crucial competences in active citizenship: Civic Competences, Active Citizenship Competences, Cultural Competences, Social Competences, Personal competences, Interpersonal competences. You will find the slides for training for each of those competences at our platform: https://academy-eu4youth2act.eu/course/index.php?categoryid=1
