Support a Campaign You Care About

Kontenido

This activity will call you to join and contribute to a campaign on a European issue that matters to you. ﻿
Whether it’s about climate action, mental health, youth rights, or digital privacy, there are campaigns out there making a difference—and you can be part of that change. By sharing their message, participating in their activities, and encouraging others to get involved, you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of Europe.
﻿
First, get inspired!Listen to a podcast where young activists share how they’ve contributed to campaigns and created change by mobilising their peers and communities, both online and offline. The EU4YOUTH2ACT project is an initiative designed to resonate with young people across Europe, raising important issues and topics that are often neglected by older generations: 
﻿
﻿
Moreover, listen to two podcasts about the efforts and journeys of young individuals and associations working to ban unpaid internships. These podcasts explore the perspectives of young people from the 'European Youth Forum' and 'Eurodesk' associations, explaining their efforts to create equal working opportunities for all Europeans and provide a more stable environment for young professionals:

﻿
Now, take action!You’ll be able to contribute to a cause that aligns with your values by raising awareness, spreading its message, and encouraging others to join in by taking part in the following activities.
﻿
Choose a campaign that matters to you: Think about an issue that you care deeply about. Is it climate change? Youth rights? Discover active campaigns at the European level, led by organisations or youth networks, and find one that aligns with your passion. Explore the campaign’s goals, the organisation behind it, and how you can contribute.
Engage with the campaign: Once you’ve chosen your campaign, it’s time to take action! Share their message on social media, join their events, sign a petition, or find other ways to actively contribute to their efforts. Get involved in a way that resonates with you.
Encourage others to get involved: Share the campaign with friends, family, or peers. Use your voice to amplify their message, whether it’s through a social media post, a small online chat, or even a group discussion. Amplify the campaign’s message by organising a small action—like a social media post or casual conversation—to get others interested in joining the campaign.
