Background of the project

The Erasmus+ project “Youth Committee for the Future” is designed to simulate the working principles of a European parliamentary committee for the future, using methods such as technology assessment, scenario-building and foresight practices in order to enable young participants both to analyze selected topics as well as to propose initiatives to be implemented to address long-term issues.

Participants will meet local and European policy-makers in charge of youth and European policies during the preparation phase in Brussels to discuss with them the topics of the simulation and to understand in which way these problems are interpreted in their own countries. During the simulation activity, they will also have the possibility to debate with local policy-makers in charge of youth and European policies, coming from the City of Naples and the Campania Region. Italian and international MEPs will be also involved.

If you are interested in the project, please send us a short motivational letter to info@c4ep.eu in English till the 1^st November 2017.
