The goal of the project is to empower conscious electoral participation of youth from RO, HU, ES, EL and LT through intercultural debate.

The timetable is built around 6 main steps or themes reached through the sessions, each with its own learning outcomes:

1. Getting to know each other- participants get to know each other and their countries better, learn names;

2. Understanding debate- participants are introduced to the debate field and its rules; they experience their first debate in the mobility;

3. Thoughtful voting and informed democracy- they gain comprehension of the significance of thoughtful voting, develop skills of finding reliable sources for gathering political news and understand the political landscape better;

4. EU values combined with individual values- learning to define their own values and ones of EU, grasping similarities and acquiring knowledge on how to apply them in the decision-making of elections;

5. Diversity and inclusion in debate- after 5 days of getting to learn a few things about each country and perspectives they each brought in play, participants get to raise gratefulness and awareness on the unique participation of everyone and enlighten the value of interculturality in debate;

6. The importance of youth active citizenship and participation in elections- participants understand althroughout their role in the wider democracy sphere of the EU and their respective countries.
