The “mooveEUforward” project, part of the 2025 Erasmus+ KA152 YOU –
Youth Mobility call, was organised by WeEurope Network – Associação Civica
Europeia.
The mobility activity took place in Rio Tinto, Portugal (headquarters of the
coordinating organisation) from 22 to 27 April 2026, bringing together 32
young people with fewer opportunities (aged between 18 and 30) and 8 adult
group leaders (one from each partner organisation, with no age limit). The
youth mobility programme included participants from PORTUGAL, ITALY,
DENMARK, GREECE, LITHUANIA, GEORGIA, SPAIN and IRELAND.
The project organised various activities at the “Rio Tinto Youth Centre”, the
“Associação Beneficiente Familiar” and “AMP – Associação de Municipios do
Porto”. Several cultural activities also took place in the city of Porto and in the
city of Guimarães.
This project stems from an observation shared by all partner organisations,
namely that a large proportion of European youth, particularly young people in
vulnerable situations, remain detached from European issues, demonstrating
low levels of civic, political, and democratic participation. This detachment
results in fragile European citizenship, often reduced to consumption and a
distant perception of institutions, rather than expressing itself through genuine
democratic and transformative engagement.
