The European Citizenship Academy (ECA) is a European youth education project which aims to engage young people and youth organizations in the democratic process and society by offering training, developing exchanges and encouraging meetings, discussion and debate, to help them identify their link with the EU, its values and its democratic foundations, in a word to accompany them in becoming actively aware of their European citizenship.
Project Objectives
