What does Europe mean to you and me, young citizens? MY EUROPE ! YOUR EUROPE ! What does Europe mean to you and me, young citizens?

SUMMARY The project “My Europe! Your Europe!” aims at motivating senior high-school students (15-18 years) to think about what Europe (EU) means to them, in their daily lives. They ask questions and perform research on the role and added-value of European decisions, policies and projects. - What did Europe already achieve for its young citizens? - What are the working-points on youth issues we want to address to the European policy-makers? - What are the challenges of Europe for the future of its young citizens? Students from different countries in Europe make video reports and share their views and opinions with each other and with the MEP’s. All videos are supported by reports. The library of videos and reports will be organized and presented to MEP’s in the spring of 2018. This is my Europe and your Europe!
