We had the honor to participate and co-organize an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange program and to cooperate with the National Youth Council of Hungary at this year’s open university at Keszthely, Hungary.
During the summer exchange, young adults could develop their skills and knowledge about active citizenship through a number of workshops and lectures. The activities aimed to engage young individuals from multiple countries, focusing on the development of participatory skills.
The project focused on several key topics, including critical thinking, media literacy, democratic participation, and European identity and values. These topics were chosen to address the growing need for young people to navigate complex information environments and to participate actively in democratic processes.
Our team had a great time at the summer camp and were able to gather a lot of inspiration for taking an active role in their communities and contributing to important societal discussions.
Take a look at the workshops during the Erasmus+ Youth Exchange Program at Keszthely! Participants could choose from a number of different topics that helped both their individual development and their active role in society.
