Understanding that the European citizenship is not only a concept anymore, but it is a practical reality that brings tangible benefits to citizens, we wanted to empower our participants to act as multiplies in delivering this information to their peers and youth groups who are not familiar with it, and increase the capacities of their organisations to raise awareness for the EU citizenship on local level. This way, we wanted to help the groups of young people participating organisations work with, to understand how they can directly benefit from their rights by knowing them better, and participate in the policy making, thus become an active European citizens ready to participate in the decision making process on all levels.

In the 7 days spent together, we explored the topic deeply and critical approaches questions and hot topics that EU is facing nowadays, letting everybody shares their opinion and face the ambiguity when it comes to international issues and different solutions.
We spoke about the problems people face in different countries, and the issues they have as a young people in these times of economic and social crisis, and how to motivate other young people to join us in the organisations we work at make impact, say their words. The outcome of this was the Guide for active citizenship we produced and spread to the participating organisations and their partners.
