We encourage participants to introduce a project idea or a concrete challenge they would like to work (or continue working) on in the months following the seminar, related to supporting young people in their engagement with Europe & and the development of trust in democracy.

An online space will be set up on basecamp where materials can be shared before, during and after the seminar. Between 45 days and 3 months after the training, an online follow-up meeting can give participants the chance to share their experiences on how they have been able to apply the training in their projects.
