Travel, Learn & DiscoverEU

The ”Travel. Learn. DiscoverEU” project aims to support and promote the experience of travelling with DiscoverEU among 18-year-old Europeans. Through travels in Europe, we promote not only the tourist aspects, but also active citizenship and the shaping of European identity.

Activities that will be undertaken during the project:

• Three partner meetings in Poland and Croatia
• One international training for LEVEL UP and SUMA personnel addressing diversity management, strategic projects, and enhancing digital competencies 
• A local workshop for 30 former DiscoverEU programme participants held in Poland and Croatia, during which they will share their thoughts, tips and experiences from the programme. Based on the experiences, a guide of experiences will be developed. 
• Producing a guide for future programme participants. The guide will include practical information, tips on travelling and cultural trivia for the DiscoverEU participants.
• Creation of an online platform. The internet-based platform will be an efficient tool promoting DiscoverEU, making the programme more visible and attractive for a wider group of youth.
• publication of 10 vlogs from the tours of participants under DiscoverEU. 
• publication of 6 podcasts with memories of the DiscoverEU participants.
• a conference in a hybrid form, presenting the project results. The conference will be held in a stationary form in Croatia; the Polish participants will be able to join it remotely. 
• a discussion meeting in Brussels with 5 representatives responsible for the DiscoverEU programme. During the meeting, we will present the youth recommendations of young people for changes in the programme, especially concerning the DiscoverEU Inclusion Action programme.

The project aims to achieve four objectives:

O1. Improving the quality and accessibility of information directed to future DiscoverEU participants.
O2. Raising awareness about the DiscoverEU programme, especially among the youth with fewer opportunities from Poland and Croatia.
O3. Strengthening the organisational capacity of LEVEL UP and SUMA in the scope of management and promotion of Erasmus+ youth mobility projects, with a special focus on the DiscoverEU Inclusion Action.
O4. Contributing to the further development of DiscoverEU by providing in-depth analyses and recommendations.

By increasing the accessibility of information on the DiscoverEU (O1) project and the rise of participation of young people with fewer chances (O2), the project promotes social inclusion and diversity in youth mobility. Improving the personnel competencies and strengthening the organisational capacity (O3) allows LEVEL UP and SUMA to create inclusive and engaging mobility experiences. Delivering recommendations and in-depth analyses (O4) contributes to the continuous improvement of DiscoverEU, ensuring its role as a beneficial tool promoting common values, citizens’ commitment, and participation of European youth.
