• To enable people to deepen their knowledge of the EU history, values, and integration process by stimulating an informed public debate and better understanding of EU’s achievements and benefits.
• To foster the sense of belonging to the European family and EU among its citizens and provide them with the opportunity to interact actively, to participate and construct a stronger Europe, based on the lessons from the past and by enrolling them actively in the coming 2028 EP elections.

• To empower the young citizens to play a full part in the democratic life of the EU at local/regional and European level by providing a “public open space” considering gender equality and non-discrimination issues, and by giving them a chance to present freely and openly their views on the European integration past and future.
• By involving wider community in the promotion of EU history and integration, to build close cooperation on communal level between the local actors (CSOs, institutions, LA/RA and public sector) and strengthen the skills and capabilities of all actors, including CSOs representatives.
