Who we are

The EU4YOUTH2ACT project is a dynamic and transformative initiative, designed to resonate with young people across Europe, particularly those facing social and economic challenges.

 

At its heart, this project aims to engage, connect, and empower these young individuals, turning them into active agents of social change and sustainable development. 

In a world still reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic and looking towards crucial EU Parliamentary Elections, EU4YOUTH2ACT stands as a beacon of hope and action.

Young people are the leaders of tomorrow, but also the changemakers of today. Their involvement is critical as they will live with the consequences of our decisions. This is why we are giving them a stronger voice in EU policymaking and addressing their concerns in areas important for them. This is our commitment to building a better future for the next generation.
