MEP Brantner - Proposal for a pilot project on a Youth Platform“ A way to connect for young activists …directly with other
young people interested in the same area in other European countries is lacking. (…) In order to connect European young people active in civil society, it is necessary to have a safe, non-commercial internet platform. ”
MEP Løkkegaard - Proposal for a pilot project on Digital Youth “ Support the creation of a digital youth platform where young
people across national borders can communicate on their own terms on specific challenges that concern young people today. ”
