Project Number: 101091320
Dates: 01.01.2023 – 31.12.2024
Programme: Erasmus+
Project Summary
RECup is a 24 month-project which seeks to foster EU citizenship and to improve conditions for civic and democratic participation at the Union level. To achieve this, the project aims to develop a network of municipalities, to strengthen the e-democracy process so as to make citizens understand the Union policy making- process and to promote opportunities for societal engagement of a specific target group: the unemployed.
The project’s aim is to promote intercultural exchange in the employment field and develop citizens’ understanding of key EU policy objectives including the EU 2021 strategy that emphasizes smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The effects of COVID-19 include high unemployment, which has created great social inequalities and pushed some people to the line of poverty and social exclusion. As a result, these people are not socially active, as they have to deal with the problem of their living. Furthermore, active citizenship has a clear and critical role to play not only i enabling us to emerge strongly from this crisis, but also in helping us understand it and, crucially, think beyond it, to a future that is likely to be different, though in ways that are as yet indeterminate. Crises of this sort often result in far-reaching social and economic change. And we need critical, compassionate citizens to ensure the future is both fair and inclusive. RECup aims to establish a network of towns, which will develop an innovative Open Educational Resource Online Platform and through website creation and training activities implementation in Romania, Malta, Greece, Croatia, Italy, Slovenia & Spain, will cope with a common target: to get the unemployed involved in the Union making process with the aim of reducing the unemployed social exclusion by European legislation and policies.
