27 July – 3 August – 10 August (3-5 pm CET)

Hear hear young people! If you are either from a youth organisation, a young regional representative from our Youth Regional Network (YRN), or just a young enthusiast curious about EU and regional policy and politics, then mark your calendar!

AER’s YOUTHopia project is on a mission to uncover all you need to know about the biggest EU investment plan that covers one-third of the total EU Budget: the Cohesion Policy. They are all sealed in a mystery box prepared to be unboxed!

Unlike the infamous Pandora Box, once you discover its content you will get all the knowledge you need to empower yourselves, transform your region and city.

Don’t let the Cohesion Policy box gather dust,  join our 3  online workshops, and discover all the available opportunities for you(th)!

If you attend the three sessions, you will receive an official certificate of attendance and your newly acquired knowledge, sealed from the Assembly of European Regions.

The workshop will dive into key topics that together will equip you with a great overview of Cohesion Policy instruments, and how we can talk Cohesion-friendly to our peers:

Session #1: The legislative process behind the EU main investment tool & avenues of participation in policy-making for youth. 27th July, 15:00 – 17:00 (CET, Brussels time)

Session #2: How Does It Work in Practice? An Overview of Funding & Opportunities for Youth. 3rd August, 15:00 – 17:00 (CET, Brussels time)

Session #3: Story-telling or the Art of Making European Cohesion Cool. 10th August, 15:00 – 17:00, Brussels time

REGISTER HERE

Can’t wait until the workshop? Check out our HotlineCohesion articles and answer our quiz in preparation!

Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or need further information. Contact e.hayes@aer.eu or a.comacchio@aer.eu. 

Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity!

The Youthopia Project is co-funded by the Directorate General for Regional and Urban policy (DG REGIO) of the European Commission.
