Peace through Engagement: Empowering Youth in European Citizenship

Peace through Engagement is a program designed to strengthen European identity and civic knowledge among youth. Participants took part in interactive classroom activities, debates with Members of the European Parliament, podcast recordings, and informative campaigns on European history, civic rights, and democratic responsibilities. The program also included collaborative projects where youth developed proposals for local initiatives aimed at fostering community cohesion, environmental awareness, and active citizenship.

Through simulations, role-playing exercises, and workshops on communication and advocacy, participants gained practical skills to influence decision-making processes at local, national, and European levels. The program emphasized critical reflection on historical events, current challenges, and the responsibilities of citizens in a democratic society, ensuring a holistic understanding of European civic life.
