Bring citizens closer to Europe and especially to young people, given that the EU is often perceived as distant, to concretely make known what happens in Brussels and the opportunities offered by the EU. Even more so in these weeks when we are looking at the European elections in June.
These are the reasons that led to the opening, within theYouth informationat Moca, in collaboration with the Lodge, of new European Direct desk which informs about the activities and opportunities of the European Union. It is the second in the Brescia area, the other is in Puegnago, managed by Gal Gardavalsabbia, and the third in Lombardy, with headquarters in Milan, of the network which is headed by the European Commission and collaborates with the Office of the EU Parliament: with the programming 2021 – 2025, over 400 centers have been activated in Europe, 46 in Italy.
Erasmus Plus
The municipal councilor for youth policies, Anna Frattini, recalls how «an increasingly European Brescia and connected to Europe is in the mandate of the mayor Laura Castelletti». «From the States General of young people – continues Frattini – it emerged that there is a lack of political discussion and the contribution that young people can make». The counter, he explained Mauro Guaschi who is the manager, «will for example provide information on European programs, such as Erasmus Pluson the opportunities made available by the European Commission and accessible to young people such as the Neet – work project, aimed at Neet, the young people who do not study or work which the Municipality of Brescia has also joined”.
Peer to peer
Informagiovani and Europe Direct Brescia are collaborating on some projects such as the Peer to peer training and accompaniment path on the topic of Europe with the Provincial Council of students of Brescia. The new desk will be accessible to the public by appointment by writing an email to [email protected].
