YouthStation (European Youth Together 2020)

Specific objectives of the project are:

1. To gather info on the involvement of young people in democratic life, in terms of active citizenship and engagement with decision-makers, through the
international survey among young people from 5 different countries, especially those from remote or rural areas or belonging to vulnerable and socio-economically disadvantaged groups;
2. To raise the capacity of the youth sector in 5 partner countries, to reach youth both within their own nation and to work trans-nationally, while promoting learning
and cooperation between young people and decision-makers;
3. To train at least 750 young people belonging to 50 remote, rural or disadvantaged areas across 5 partner countries in the skills of advocacy and mediation, which will incapacitate them to engage with local, national and regional decision-makers;
4. To promote the participation of under-represented groups of young people in politics, youth organizations and other civil society organizations from 50 different areas (ex. municipalities), by establishing a connection with local and national
decision-makers and adding an international dimension through digital engagement;
5. To engage over 150 young people from 5 different countries to further improve existing best practices and outreach beyond the regular network(s), by getting them familiarized with local politics in every partner country;
6. To create a unique digital YouthStation where young people can get informed about the possibilities of exchanges and youth participation on a local, regional
and international level;
7. To set up a foundation for future cooperation.
