Events

The event focuses on strengthening young people’s participation in democratic life, with a particular emphasis on the role of EuroApprentices as active ambassadors of European values. The main goal is to create a space for meaningful dialogue, exchange of experiences, and mutual learning among participants from different countries.

We aim to foster a deeper understanding of democratic principles, civic engagement, and the importance of active participation in society. Through interactive sessions and study visits, participants will explore how democratic values are reflected in both historical and contemporary contexts.

An important objective of the event is also to support the development of strong interpersonal connections, encourage collaboration, and build a sense of European community. By bringing together engaged young people, we want to empower them to become more confident, active, and responsible citizens who contribute to democratic life at local, national, and European levels.

As a result of the event, participants will strengthen their understanding of democratic values and increase their awareness of the importance of civic participation. They will gain new knowledge, skills, and inspiration that will support their further activities as EuroApprentices.

Participants will also develop practical ideas and tools for promoting Erasmus+ and active citizenship in their local communities. The event will enhance their communication, teamwork, and intercultural competences.

Another key outcome will be the creation of stronger networks among EuroApprentices from different countries. Establishing these connections will encourage future cooperation, exchange of good practices, and joint initiatives beyond the event itself.

Additionally, participants will leave the event with concrete plans on how to use the knowledge gained and how to multiply the impact of the experience after returning to their countries.

The main target group of the event consists of young people involved in the EuroApprentices network who, during their vocational upper-secondary education (VET schools, technical schools, vocational schools, etc.), participated in an Erasmus+ mobility experience abroad.

These young people now actively share their experiences with peers and local communities, promoting the value of Erasmus+ mobility opportunities and encouraging others to take part in international experiences. Through their engagement, they demonstrate that participating in Erasmus+ projects can bring significant personal, educational, and professional benefits.

EuroApprentices also play an important role in promoting Vocational Education and Training (VET), showing that vocational pathways are valuable, future-oriented, and provide young people with practical skills, international competences, and better opportunities for personal and professional development.

The event also warmly welcomes staff members of National Agencies responsible for the EuroApprentices initiative, who support the development of the network, exchange good practices, and contribute to strengthening international cooperation within Erasmus+ and VET sectors.
