Overview

Values, Ideas and Stories from Youth ON stage – VISYON is a 24-month long Erasmus+ KA3 European Youth Together project that aims to encourage youth’s social and civic engagement and ensure that young people have the necessary resources to participate fully in society.
The project is based on the 11 European Youth Goals (EYG) and designed to support the implementation of the EU Youth Strategy (2019-2027) by focusing on its three main areas of action: Engage, Connect, and Empower.

VISYON involves an international consortium of NGOs (from Romania, Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, Slovakia, Netherlands, Spain and Malta) that will work together, for 24 months, to:

• EMPOWER YOUTH through a series of local trainings and events on the 11 European Youth Goals, on the Digital Storytelling methods and on principles of Media Literacy and responsible media production!
• CONNECT YOUTH through the creation of stable working groups of participants, who will collaborate to create the scripts for a series of 11 short movies on European Youth Goals and meet in an international event to shoot the videos!
• ENGAGE YOUTH through the creation of a European Youth Diary that will combine the voices of more than 250 youngsters all over Europe with regards to their views on the current European policies’ efficiency to achieve the European Youth Goals and their suggestions for improvement!
