At this time of crises the future of Europe is being discussed. This makes one realise that the future of Europe depends on the young. However, young people are facing a lack of political or financial stability. As a consequence they don not trust in the existing political systems. This results in the lack of interest in political and social life, and the incapacity to define their own political views. The aim of this project is to change this situation by providing young people with knowledge and competencies encouraging them to play a crucial role in the development society.
