Empowering Youth for Active Citizenship and Social Inclusion: First Results of the EYES Project

This conference, organized as part of the Erasmus Days 2026, will present the key results of the first year of the EYES project (Empowering Youth – Erasmus Plus Virtual Exchange for Active Citizenship and Social Inclusion). The event will feature a keynote presentation on the project’s initial achievements, including the development of the EYES virtual platform, the results of the needs assessment survey, and the launch of online facilitated exchanges for youth. A panel discussion with youth workers and project participants will explore the skills developed through the program, followed by an interactive workshop where attendees will collaborate on micro-proposals for local civic engagement actions addressing topics like Mental Health, SDGs, and Youth Unemployment. This conference aims to promote intercultural dialogue, strengthen EU-Africa relations, and showcase how virtual exchanges can foster active citizenship and social inclusion among young people from Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria, and Gabon.
