Main objectives of the project are:

1. Contribute to a more politically-aware, politically-engaged generation by analysing youth knowledge on European Parliament and level of political engagement in the territories of the project partners.

2. Familiarize youth with the workings of the European institutions, focusing on EP, and bring institutions closer to the citizens they represent and work for.
