Young people often think more positive about Europe than is assumed

Making youngsters and Europe visible

The project Europe4me presents the opportunities that Europe has to offers and the experiences of participants in European activities visible by allowing young people to describe their experiences personally. Europe4me is an innovative awareness and education project, in which youngsters and young adults participating in European activities are able to share their experiences with a large audience and thereby starting a dialogue about the experience and about Europe. All activities of the project, such as training, meetings and projects lead to 3 national theme papers which are disseminated through the free newspaper METRO to the Dutch public. The theme papers are aimed at a different view of Europe. They also serve to raise awareness and greater attention for the annual Europe Day on May 9th.
