💼 What the programme involves
The main objective of this project is to promote the European Union and European citizenship at the local level by forging the European identity of young generations.
Young students attend non-formal learning workshops and lectures about European geography, European countries and their diverse cultures and traditions, European institutions and their functioning and responsibilities, European policies and Fundamental Rights.
TASKS OF THE VOLUNTEERS:
