NEUEYT Project presented at training activity in Catania, Italy

Today our colleagues from Glocal Factory had a chance to present the NEUEYT project on the LTTA training activity in Italy, within the frame of the project Eurothon, a KA 2 for youth. The topic of the Eurothon project is similar to the NEUEYT projects, and in both cases in their activities engagement of young people and increasing their activism in the communities is in main focus.  


The European Hackathon: shaping youth ideas on the future of Europe project aims to broaden and strengthen youngsters’ civic engagement and participation in democratic processes, through their active participation in a training pathway that will have a student/youth-centred and action-oriented approach.
