The “From the Ground Up – Fostering Rural Youth Participation in the EU Agenda” Project Conference Was Held in Athens, Greece

The event united youth, educators, and policymakers from 13 EU countries to discuss EU citizenship, identity, misinformation, and hate speech. Local students actively participated, fostering dialogue on democratic engagement and empowering rural youth to contribute to EU processes. Key sessions included expert talks, student presentations, and an Oxford Debate.

Impact:
The “From the Ground Up – Fostering Rural Youth Participation in the EU Agenda” project promoted EU and local democratic processes for the upcoming European Elections 2024. The project informed rural and peripheral communities about hate speech, disinformation, fake news, misleading content, cybersecurity threats, conservative shifts, and political resentments that challenge the integrity of elections.
