WILDCAT Project

Young people’s attitudes toward the European Union and politics are ambivalent: while young people show a strong desire to engage in politics and concrete activism, they also feel distant from EU institutions and the ability to understand their functioning, consequently feeling that their chances of influencing and counting in the decision-making process are slim. The WILDCAT project aims to inform 1.250 young people, coming from a background of heavy consumption of popular culture, about 3 key European policies, and help them create 3 new European Narratives based on the exchange of opinions on the subjects. These Narratives will then be translated into 3 comics that will be disseminated through the most appropriate channels to reach a very large youth population and increase their knowledge of and trust in Europe.
