European Youth Goals - Goal 1: Connecting EU with youth
Hello Everyone🙂
💫In the previous post, we presented the general description of the European Youth Goals 🇪🇺👫.
Today, we would like to share with you a more detailed description of 🎯Goal 1 Connecting EU with Youth 🇪🇺👫
Please check the information presented below: #1 Connecting EU with Youth🇪🇺👫 means fostering the sense of youth belonging to the European project and building a bridge between the EU and young people to regain trust and increase participation.
💭One of the biggest challenges to counter is an increasing number of young people who lack trust in the EU. They encounter some difficulties in understanding EU principles, values, and functioning. Democratic deficits in EU processes were identified as one of the key reasons for rising Euroscepticism among youth.
🎯 Goals:
•Guarantee meaningful youth involvement and dialogue in all stages of EU decision-making by improving existing participatory mechanisms and creating new ones.
•Ensure equal access to quality impartial and youth-friendly information about how the EU works, how to engage in it, and what opportunities it offers. •Introduce and increase education about Europe and the EU in formal and non-formal settings.
•Guarantee fair representation of all member states in political and administrative EU bodies, in line with the principle of equal citizenship.
•Increase the budget and the impact of the EU youth programmes.
•Build young people’s trust in the EU project by addressing the democratic deficit, lack of transparency, and visibility.
•Institutionalise the assessment of youth-friendliness, impact, and effect of EU policies.
