Developing values of active citizenship, freedom, tolerance and non-discrimination among young people by connecting students and professors/staff of HEIs of European and Southern Neighborhood region countries through online formal and non-formal activities.

What is ACT?

The ACT project underlines that the need to develop democratic citizenship principles and values of active citizenship, freedom, tolerance and non-discrimination among youth is going to be addressed in and through education utilising the power of emerging technologies so as to share fundamental values and to foster young people’s active citizenship between European and Southern Neighbourhood region counties.
