JustEU&Me aims at empowering young people (18-30) and youth association representatives to influence EU and Member State policies on social justice, focusing on education, gender equality, and equal opportunities under the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR).

Implemented in 7 EU countries—Italy, Spain, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece, and Belgium—the project engages diverse youth to develop and advocate their positions on EPSR principles at national and European levels.

Over 18 months, participants joined trainings and events, gaining knowledge on EPSR, theory of change, media literacy, and fighting disinformation. They then created national and European manifestos addressing key issues like education, gender equality, and equal opportunities.

To foster meaningful dialogue between young people and European policymakers on these topics, the European Movement International is hosting the final, pan-European, online conference “Youth Meets the Union” in October 2024.
