EUROPIAMO?
Where: Terranova da Sibari, Italy
When: 9 May 2019
Target Group: High school and university students
Organisers: Futuro Digitale
European Union has offered incredible opportunities to grow and learn in contexts of formal and non-formal education. We have traveled, studied, worked and lived far and wide in old continent. Driven by the enthusiasm generated by our first steps in Europe and by needs that unite us, we are motivated to introduce our peers to opportunities offered by European programs. Inspired by a productive confront, we want to build a network of young ambassadors who can spread an idea of Europe that unites creativity and innovation in all Italian territories, bringing new generations closer to the idea of European citizenship. In fact, we believe that a more inclusive, sustainable, tolerant and participatory European generation is the key. We bring our experience to schools and universities to explain why we think we can build a better Europe, starting from an effective bridge between institutions and active citizens. If you share our dream, become a young ambassador!
