Project Summary

Students – and young people in general – are more and more interested in engagement issue. When they are invovled, it is most of the time because of their personal conviction and they don’t expect anything in return. However, it is useful for them to have knowledge on practices about their national civic engagement legal frame, to know how looking for an asking structure or to create their own association. On the same way, these engagement activities always enable the young people involved to develop and master news skills, most often extra-curicular, without neither they realize nor they foresee to add them to their cover letters or CV.
Partners and associated partners gathered in this project – universities and associations located in six European countries –jointly wish to offer these young engaged people some options they will built together in the three years coming, within one project structured in three main phases :
Raising awareness of commitment, by communicating in an innovative manner to the widest possible public
Shape young people involved in engagement activities, by making adapted pedagogical solutions (lectures, workshop, teaching paths)
Identify and value acquired skills by young people engaged to enable them to use it on their future studies or professional integration projects.
The creation of a “Committed Student Status” allowing to replace the mandatory training by a time dedicated to engagement and included in the diplomas obtained, will institutionalise a project entirely dedicated to support young people.
