Youth organization

Understanding Europe Greece was established in 2022 and its management consists of Members of the European Youth Parliament Greece. Through the Understanding Europe Network, we wish to amplify our contribution to youth engagement, using our experience in youth work and European affairs to dispel Euroscepticism and cultivate a sense of European identity and belonging among students.

Furthermore, we believe our participation in the network will be key in helping address numerous social and human rights issues in a peer-to-peer basis, by empowering youth civil participation while cultivating European values of diversity, tolerance, and intercultural dialogue. We really hope that our further engagement with Greek schools will not only expand our reach to the youth all over the country, but also include more young people in our mission of non-formal learning and the use of innovative tools and methods, by offering alternative opportunities for engagement with European affairs.

Our mission is to slowly grow beyond the two main biggest cities of the country and reach remote areas such as numerous Greek islands, where students are less likely to experience European multiculturalism and active democratic citizenship.
