ENRYP II

ENRYP II begins where ENRYP — the first edition of the project — left off. Its aim is to develop a multi-stakeholder network of youth organizations engaged in youth activism.

The main goal of the ENRYP II is to increase youth social and political participation in Portugal, Italy, UK, Hungary and Romania in order to achieve positive changes in young people's lives and to build better societies.

The specific objectives of the project are:

• to establish a European network as a common space where young people but also relevant stakeholders exchange practices and explore together topics such as youth participation, active citizenship and EU awareness and identity
• To broaden and deepen political and social participation and understanding of at least 175 young people at the local and regional level in the 5 countries of the partner organization
• to enable at least 175 young people to connect with, express their opinions to and influence elected policy-makers, public administrators, interest groups and CSOs within any of the political or social processes affecting their lives.

The main activities

The main activities will include the realisation of 3 Intellectual Outputs namely:

• IO1 — European Network of Regional and Local Youth Platforms — to offer young people a concrete space where they can express themselves and engage in meaningful dialogue with elected policy-makers, public administrators, interest groups, CSOs or individual citizens within any of the political or social processes affecting their lives
• IO2 — Good Practices Compendium - a collection of practices that were developed at the local and regional level with a two-fold aim: to develop an active participatory culture among young people and to explore new forms of political and social participation at the local and regional level.
• IO3 — Youth Activist Kit — to support young people in acquiring knowledge and understanding of their position in a certain community, develop social and civic competences, active listening, learning to learn, a more positive attitude towards active participation, as well as skills to motivate and empower other young people to take a meaningful part in the life of their communities
• 1 short-term staff training, 3 blended mobility activities and 6 multiplier events.
