Youth Active Participation Platforms

About the project

2022 is the European Year of Youth, shining a light on the importance of European youth to build a better future, greener, more inclusive and digital. The European Year of Youth is the moment to move forward with confidence and hope in a post-pandemic perspective. Our general objective is to create inclusive participation of young people and their active citizenship and to increase opportunities for influencing local decision-making processes that promote physical and mental wellbeing through culture and leisure activities in cooperation with local youth recreational centers and local culture clubs.

The collaboration between Timjan youth cultural center and the library Multiplo in Cavriago in the field of an Erasmus+ will allow the partners to start the establishment of an international library network to discuss common needs and find common solutions, in other words, the project brings added value at the EU level by building capacity for the organizations to engage in cross-border cooperation and networking.
