About YouDecide Project
The “You Decide” project aims to organize three Youth Participation Events and one Youth Participation Mobility, engaging 200-250 participants, including youth representatives and decision-makers. Aligned with the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027, the project fosters collaboration between youth councils and policymakers, promoting civic, economic, social, cultural, and political participation of young people. Through lectures, workshops, and open agenda sessions, “You Decide” empowers youth to influence decision-making spaces and engage in democratic processes.
