Workshop Schedule and Activities:

Over three days, this workshop will gather 18 participants aged 18-30 from various partnerships. It’s crafted to deepen the relationship between the EU and its younger constituents.

Day 1: Participants start with fun ice-breaking activities to build rapport. Afterwards, they dive into an introduction that outlines the workshop’s goals and presents a thorough overview of EU Youth Goal #1, including its current impact.

Day 2: Today, participants split into three groups of six to tackle unique challenges relating to EU and youth connectivity. Each group moves through three discussion phases: Criticism, Fantasy, and Realization, aiming to craft innovative solutions. Additionally, the “Collecting experiences” session allows for sharing personal insights on EU engagement, fostering a vibrant exchange of ideas.

Day 3: Efforts continue as groups work on the “Design for wiser action” activity. They’ll develop a Youth Toolkit for Connecting EU with Youth, compiling strategies and ideas to enhance EU-young people relations. This toolkit is designed to ensure that youth voices are influential and acknowledged in EU policy-making.
