FUTU4U - Futures For You

Over 14% of Europeans between 15-29 are not in education, employment or training (NEET). This leads to a risk of societal exclusion, which is compounded by inadequate understanding of how society works and the inability to see prospects and opportunities. Those of migratory background potentially face further challenges from discrimination. Futures For You (FUTU4U) is a multinational, EU-funded project that aims to empower young Europeans of all backgrounds to build preferred futures for themselves. Activities of the project include Language of Democracy Cafes, Futuring Good Life Workshops and the Policies for Good Life initiative. These events will increase the participants' understanding of the democratic process and channel the voices of young Europeans' to the policy makers. At the end, the participatory methods of the project are disseminated and taught to actors in national and international networks. The network has participating organizations from Finland, Ireland, Slovenia, Italy and Belgium. Planned activities consist of 36 different activities in different countries.
