Over the next six months, the Agirre Lehendakaria Center and Young Social Innovators (Northern Ireland) will work together on a project under the Erasmus+ programme, which supports international exchanges and projects in the fields of youth, education, and training.

The Youth Pulse project aims to gain a better understanding of young people’s attitudes and perspectives in Ireland and the Basque Country, laying the groundwork for the creation of a European Union youth opinion panel. This panel will help young people better understand inequalities, assets, and shared values within their communities, while promoting active citizenship and social innovation.

The project foresees three key outcomes:

1. Mapping – gathering young people’s perspectives and experiences.

2. Panel design – developing a plan for a European Union youth opinion panel.

3. Green Paper – drafting a consultation document to strengthen youth participation and active citizenship.
