We are very happy to announce that our project Make Your Vote! is officially starting today.
In light of the European Parliamentary elections in 2024, the MYV project aims to raise awareness of the common EU values and encourage the participation of young people and first-time voters in Europe’s democratic life. The project’s foreseen activities will promote a bottom-up approach and invite young people and citizens to take part in activities and debates concerning the future of the European project. The project’s activities (World Café, local simulations, international skills training, and international youth debate) will strengthen democratic participation and young people’s voice in decision-making by raising necessary skills and creating tools for young people to effectively participate in public and civic life. The project aims to engage, connect and empower young Europeans to be active citizens and to contribute to the creation of more peaceful, inclusive, and resilient societies.
The MYV project will be implemented in partnership with seven European countries and it will reach 505 direct and 3000 indirect participants.
The project is funded by the Citizens, Equality, Values and Right (CERV) programme of the European Commission.
Foundation for Entrepreneurship, Culture and Education (FECE) is the coordinator of the project, together with six partners:
