E-GOV4Youth
“E-government is a comprehensive initiative to use current technologies to modernize public administration and to improve interaction between the government and its citizens.”
Youth and Administration Together for a Digital Future
Project Description
E-GOV4YOUTH tackles head-on the global challenges surrounding civic engagement among marginalized youth, a topic of growing significance amplified further by the pandemic’s acceleration of public service digitalization. The project aims to narrow the digital skills gap among NEET youth (those not in education, employment, or training), fostering enhanced collaboration between youth and Public Administrations (PAs) in local decision-making processes. By developing E-GOV competencies and tools, EGOV4YOUTH strives to effectively address the evolving needs of young Europeans.
Vision
EGOV4YOUTH marks a significant step toward a new era of digital public services, shifting from simple service delivery (E-Government) to participatory and collaborative governance (E-Governance). The primary goal is to enhance the accessibility and efficiency of digital public services while simultaneously increasing the active involvement of young people in local decision-making processes. Aligned with the European strategy, the project aims to promote common values, civic engagement, and democratic participation among European youth, thereby contributing to the development of a more inclusive and resilient society.
