The first step towards understanding young citizens’ strengths and possibilities nowadays was made during the multipliers event of the ENGAGE project. When young people have dreams, they need a push for implementation, and constant support. Debate between those who are willing to offer this support is crucial, and this meeting was an effort in that direction.

During the open event, participants shared their thoughts with each other and had the opportunity to develop their skills by creating small initiatives addressing different social issues on local, European and international level. They became acquainted with non-formal methods as a tool for implementing their ideas and promoting their causes of interest. They were also presented with details of the ENGAGE project, the training course activities that were tested in Brussels last April and the outcomes of the study that took place among the youth in Greece and Romania, in view of the European elections and the motivation of youth to take part in them. There was also time for networking, while participants exchanged ideas on ways to influence the processes of decision making at any level.
