The project Reinventing Engagement through Affirmative Citizen Consultations (REACH) is focused on strengthening citizen participation on European policy issues. It aims to reveal young people’s understanding, aspirations, and narratives within and across interrelated policy fields.
Through a combination of local, national and transnational events, the project seeks to empower those often excluded from the decision-making process. Plenary discussions directed around the environment, EU accession, and the rule of law will lead to identifying trade-offs and synergies at the intersection between these realms. In addition, to give participants more opportunity to share thoughts and opinions, the MladiRini youth portal will focus specifically on collecting written contributions.
At the end of the project, a comprehensive Transnational Volume publication will be produced, showcasing insights and experiences from the local, national, and transnational events. This Transnational Volume will be presented at a final conference in Brussels, where event delegates, national-level stakeholders, and EU policy experts will discuss the project and its results.
