Active Citizenship and Sustainability

The existence of civil society is a fundamental element of democratic countries. Having the opportunity to voice one’s opinion on public affairs and participate in shaping one’s surroundings is a privilege that needs to be protected. As part of our work, we encourage young people not to be afraid to participate in social and political life. Specifically, through our activities, we educate participants in the fields of media literacy, political reality, and the environment, while also providing platforms to discuss various societal topics such as migration, inclusion, security, and more.

 

All of our activities address the topic of active citizenship at their core. To name a few directly, these include our EUth youth exchange series on migration, media, and democracy, as well as longer-term projects such as Be Informed, Not Disinformed, Think Twice (It’s Alright), MERGE, or the international competition Pitch Your Sustainable Idea.

International Mobilities

The international mobility program represents a key pillar of our activities, aiming to provide young people with non-formal education in a pan-European context. We regularly design and implement international youth exchanges, training courses, and specialized professional stays, primarily within renowned European grant frameworks such as Erasmus+ or the Tandem program. Thanks to these opportunities, participants discover different cultures, build connections across Europe, and gain experience that they subsequently bring back home. Development of key competencies: Through intensive experiential learning and non-formal methods, participants gain practical skills, the ability to work in transnational teams, and a deeper insight into European issues. Intercultural dialogue and networking: The stays create a safe space for exploring diverse cultures and building lasting personal and professional contacts across the continent. Transfer of good practice to the regions: Upon their return, participants actively apply the acquired knowledge, insights, and experience in their home communities in the Czech Republic—in exact alignment with the idea that originally sparked the creation of Young Europeans. Below you will find our current and past projects.

Career and Employability

Making the jump from school to the workforce is often unnecessarily tough for young people. Theoretical knowledge falls short when employers are looking for practical skills, independence, or the ability to pitch an idea. Our program bridges that gap, preparing participants for the real-world demands of the job market.

 

We help young people find their footing—whether that means crafting a CV, writing a cover letter, and prepping for interviews, or fostering an entrepreneurial mindset. That’s the core focus of our projects like Smartphone for Employability and Pitch Your Sustainable Idea. Beyond individual projects, we also offer mentoring for young people looking to bring their own ideas to life.

Activities for Young Ukrainians Living in the Czech Republic

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Mladoevropani has actively involved Ukrainian refugees in our own and partner mobility programs. Our goal is to help the Ukrainian community successfully integrate into Czech society—a process that goes far beyond just finding a job, aiming instead for full and active participation in all areas of life.

 

Beyond including Ukrainians in international mobility projects, we are currently co-hosting an initiative that offers free Czech conversation classes for young people from Ukraine. These sessions help with integration, navigating daily life, and building friendships with both fellow Ukrainians and Czech locals. The events are organized by Kryla at the Scout Institute on Old Town Square.

Young Europeans Community

Over the last few years, a community of like-minded people eager to keep growing has formed around Young Europeans. That’s why we regularly host meetups and events across Prague and the Central Bohemian Region, keeping project participants connected long after their projects wrap up.
