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.
