You are between 18 and 30 years, in charge of a project that strengthens the notion of citizenship in your city? You want to share it and to take part in a meeting gathering over 60 participants from all over Europe, participating in workshops, festive and cultural moments?
Everywhere in Europe, from Amsterdam to Séville, from Warsaw to Nantes, young people engage and innovate in order to strengthen the quality of life in their community. Developing relations between citizens, solidarity, the protection of the environment, artistic collaboration – every initiative is unique but all of them have a common objective: to strengthen the notion of ‘living together’.
In order to allow these young people to meet, to learn and perhaps to experiment with new forms of projects within Europe, the Nantes Creative Generations Forum brings participants together every year from Nantes and Europe to present a concrete initiative. The objective is to encourage and stimulate European exchanges so that they make progress together.
As well as showcasing their own projects, participants will have the chance to learn from peers across Europe and to gain better understanding of the European dimension of local projects. this is a unique opportunity to develop a project, reinforce / create a network, exchange good ideas, strengthen English skills, etc.
