March 2, 2026

Reference: 2025-2-DE04-KA210-YOU-000368826

Duration: 1. 3. 2026 – 31. 8. 2027

Young people with fewer opportunities, especially those with learning difficulties or special educational needs, may know little about Europe, the Erasmus+ Programme youth opportunities, or European elections. One reason for this is that they often do not have learning materials that are easy for them to understand. In addition, social service institutions that work with these young people are often focused primarily on addressing their developmental needs.

This project aims to create and test simple and accessible learning materials. The materials will be developed together with professionals from social service institutions who work directly with these young people.

Objectives
Create clear and easy to use learning materials about Europe, Erasmus+ youth opportunities, and European elections for young people with fewer opportunities who are users of different social services.
Help young people involved in social service institutions become more active in society. The project will support their participation, interest in civic life, and understanding of how democracy works, including the difference between democratic and anti democratic ideas.

Build stronger cooperation between organisations across Europe and institutions that support young people with higher support needs. This will help create future youth exchanges and joint activities.

Results
A set of multilingual learning materials about Europe, Erasmus+, and European elections. The materials will be adapted so that young people involved in social service institutions can easily use them.
Participating organisations will improve their ability to run inclusive civic education activities and support young people in taking part in mobility and participation opportunities.
