The following initiative aims to investigate the functioning of the European Union, through the promotion of rights and values with the objective that citizenship and youth as the main target group have all the necessary elements to be active agents in their respective societies. The project will be divided into 8 trasnational events (one for each project partner) and aims to involve directly more than 400 participants and indirectly more than 25.000 citizens.
