Agrupamento Terras do Ave, in collaboration with YUPI (Youth Union of People with Initiative), is pleased to announce the approval of the project “Empowering Youth for a United Europe.” This is a project under the DiscoverEU Inclusion Action program, whose main objective is to provide a travel experience across Europe for former students of the school group, specifically young people aged 18.
This pioneering initiative within the scope of Erasmus+ Youth/Sport and the European Solidarity Corps represents the commitment of Agrupamento Terras do Ave to contribute to the development of the community through the active involvement of young people. In addition to the aforementioned objectives, this project marks the beginning of a series of actions planned to promote community participation in the Erasmus+ program.
Beyond the primary purpose mentioned above, the project aims for young people to:
- Have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge about Europe and explore the various opportunities it offers for their future educational paths and life choices.
- Be equipped with essential social knowledge and skills for their personal development.
- Be encouraged to establish connections and participate in intercultural dialogues, fostering a deeper understanding among young people.
- Develop a sense of belonging to the European Union, strengthening their European identity.
- Be inspired to adopt sustainable travel practices, emphasizing environmental awareness and overall ecological responsibility.
Agrupamento Terras do Ave hopes that the various actions carried out under the Erasmus+ program will significantly contribute to the growth and strengthening of the local community, promoting mutual understanding and building bridges between young people and the opportunities offered by Europe. Therefore, the approval of this project, in addition to being a source of great satisfaction, is just the beginning of a journey towards sustainable development and the promotion of community well-being.
