ABOUT EUTHPART

The Jean Monnet module 'Empowering Youth Participation through EU Values' aims to introduce university students to European democratic values, raise young people's awareness of European common values and fundamental rights, and thus empower youth participation in Turkey. As such, the project's overall goal complements the priorities outlined in the European Union Youth Strategy 2019-2027. EUTHPART offers two undergraduate and one graduate elective course that introduces students to the conceptual and analytical framework of democratic values, political participation, and democratic practices in the EU.
