ANALYSIS OF THE TRAINING NEEDS OF YOUTH LEADERS

In a col­lab­o­ra­tive effort under the Eras­mus+ “Youth in Europe” project, part­ner orga­ni­za­tions from Spain, Ire­land, Lithua­nia, and Croa­t­ia have unveiled an online ques­tion­naire. This ini­tia­tive invites not only young peo­ple but indi­vid­u­als of all ages to pro­vide their insights. The sur­vey is designed to metic­u­lous­ly gath­er data on the train­ing needs con­cern­ing var­i­ous aspects of the Euro­pean Union. These aspects include the EU’s foun­da­tion­al prin­ci­ples, the his­to­ry of Euro­pean inte­gra­tion, the val­ues and sym­bols that define the Union, the oper­a­tional dynam­ics of EU insti­tu­tions, and the frame­works of poli­cies and pro­grams. More­over, it aims to assess the lev­el of active par­tic­i­pa­tion among the youth in EU mat­ters. The ulti­mate goal is to lever­age the find­ings from this sur­vey to devel­op an online course that is both infor­ma­tive and reflec­tive of the com­mu­ni­ty’s edu­ca­tion­al needs on the sub­ject of Euro­pean cit­i­zen­ship and par­tic­i­pa­tion. This endeav­our under­scores the pro­jec­t’s com­mit­ment to fos­ter­ing a well-informed and active­ly engaged cit­i­zen­ry in the demo­c­ra­t­ic process­es and civic life of the Euro­pean Union.
