The project Learn & Vote aims to encourage young people to vote and to learn more about European Parliament elections. The need identified for this project is to increase and compensate for the low participation of young people in elections. What young people are asking for is to be more informed about the programmes of the parties, how this election impacts them in their daily lives and to make voting more accessible. This is why we are keen to create a guidebook on all the topics mentioned above. The objectives are encouraging young people to vote, getting young people involved in European citizenship, showing the importance of a vote, learning more about the European Union, learning more about the different parties of the European Parliament and preparing young people to vote for the European elections in 2024. The target group of the project are young people in EU countries, from 16-25 years old. It is 16 and not 18 because some countries of the European Union have the right to vote at 16 and it is better if young people are informed before an election than when they have to vote. Five partners are part of the project USB (Greece), ADEL (Slovakia), ATIC (Romania), GOD (Bulgaria), and Jurmalas Kauguru vidusskola (Latvia). The activities done during this project are project management, the creation of a guidebook to inform young people about the vote, a seminar to bring together young people to talk about the project and content on social media.
