• Active European Citizenship: How young people and youth organisations, despite all obstacles, contribute to building a strong and inclusive European civil society by addressing issues such as racism, social inequality, flight and migration, environmental protection, etc.
• Participation for all: How youth organisations across Europe are working to empower young people to get involved locally and on transnational level, regardless of their origin, parents’ income, and previous success in the formal education system.
• What changes young people and youth work professionals are advocating for on local, national and European level.

On arrangement, you are very welcome to visit our youth encounters and other events. We can also put you in touch with the youth work organisations involved and the participating young people on site.
