Youth in Action Programme (EU)

The Youth in Action Programme was an initiative by the European Union that supported young people's personal and professional development through educational and cultural activities. It aimed to promote active citizenship, social inclusion, and intercultural understanding by funding projects like exchanges, volunteer work, and learning opportunities across Europe. By fostering skills, knowledge, and cooperation among young people, the programme helped prepare them for active participation in democratic life and the global community. It laid the groundwork for subsequent youth initiatives within the EU, emphasizing empowerment, mobility, and mutual understanding among youth populations.
