How can we ensure that young people feel connected to democratic life and equipped to take part in it? This project addresses that question by helping students and young citizens strengthen their civic competences \u2013 the essential knowledge, skills, and values for active and responsible participation in society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size\">Civic competences go beyond understanding political systems. They include critical thinking, communication, collaboration, leadership, cultural awareness, ethical responsibility, and digital literacy. These competences empower individuals to engage in public life, promote community well-being, and contribute to democratic societies. What skills do young people need most to thrive as future European leaders?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-extra-large-font-size

deliver a set of concrete results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Online events<\/strong> \u2013 EU issue debates, curriculum discussions, and local issue forums, bringing together students from partner universities to explore how civic competences shape responses to societal challenges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Workshops for secondary school students<\/strong> in Estonia and Italy, introducing the fundamentals of civic competences and creating links between younger learners, university students, and educators.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Collaborative exchanges with trainee teachers<\/strong>, enabling them to transfer knowledge gained from the workshops into their future classrooms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A project-based course<\/strong> where university students co-develop solutions to local issues with European implications, using civic competences as their framework.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A practical toolkit<\/strong> compiling data,
