EU Programme Europe for Citizens
The Europe for Citizens will launch debates and reflexions among university students on how to build and promote a socially active and responsible European citizenship and what should be their common elements (ie:volunteering, intergenerational dialogue, democratic participation, intercultural dialogue). To ensure an informed and interactive reflexion, the youngsters will organise a wide consultation among young people, parents, representatives of social organisations, volunteers, decision-makers.

The Project: "Promoting a Responsible European Citizenship"
The project is primarily addressed to young (mainly university students), who are the future rulers and actors of the European growth. At present, little awareness of the European project and a consequent poor engagement of the young population in its development is acknowledged (ie: the low percentage of voters in the European Parliament elections).
Expected impact of the project
Reinforced sense of belonging to Europe through deepening the reflection on the social and civic/democratic engagement aspects of the European citizenship with a view of creating a common feeling of responsibility, especially among the young students.
