The Project

YOUp@ is a Project funded by the European YOUTH IN ACTION program supported by 6 organizations from the UK, Slovenia and Spain. The objectives of the project are to encourage the participation of young people in the democratic process through the new media (Internet, social networks, digital media, etc):

To achieve these goals, the project proposes different activities by young people for young people:

- A web 2.0 www.youpa-project.eu  platform for sharing ideas (forum), providing information (library and WIKI) and facilitating personal expression (blogs) open for young people all over the word.

- An intercultural “Youth parliament on democracy” event among 24 young people will be held to discuss this and more questions from 24-28 May 2010 in the Basque Country (Spain)

- A “Solemn Resolution” containing all the decisions and conclusions reached thought the website and the “Youth parliament on democracy event” which will be widely circulated to decision makers, youth organizations and media representatives throughout Europe.

- A video-documentary will be produced to illustrate the Youth Parliament and present the “Resolution” to a wide public.
