Project Description:

The GenerACTION project aims to build mutual trust between youth organizations, institutions, and the target generations Y, Z, and ALFA. This will be achieved through stimulating peer-to-peer (P2P) activities to better understand the specific needs of these groups. The project aims to address the generational gap between youth organizations (Generation Y and X) professionals and their target group - young people of generations Y, Z and Alpha, facilitating more effective and responsive services for youth. 

Further objectives include building cross-border links between sectors related to youth, acquiring tools to map good practices, organizing cross-border events to exchange experiences, and compiling a publication and digital platform for sharing successful stories.
