GenerACTION: Connecting Youth for Empowered Change

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.
