Project Summary

CIVACT was an ERASMUS+ Key Action 2 project which ran from October 2018 to December 2020. Over the course of the two-year project, the partners explored various facets of their respective local situations, from political support to funding to institutional cooperation, as part of developing the project’s outputs and adapting them to their local contexts.
The overall goal of the project was to upskill youth workers in methods specifically designed for engaging disadvantaged young people, and, in turn, to offer these young people new experiences with civic engagement and the confidence and tools needed to propose changes to urban regeneration and local development in the areas in which they live.
