About / The Project

A project that is dedicated to promoting active participation of European citizens in the democratic process, fostering their awareness and engagement in both national and European political contexts, while encouraging participatory and shared involvement through the implementation and use of digital tools.

VOICE-EU: Valuing Opportunities for Inclusive Civic Engagement in Europe is an Erasmus+ Small-scale Partnership in Adult Education (KA210-ADU) running for 18 months (October 1, 2024 – March 31, 2026) across three European countries: Italy, Greece, and Spain. Coordinated by Timeducation di Tiziana Marinelli (Italy), the project brings together three partner organizations committed to promoting active civic engagement and democratic participation among European adults through non-formal learning.

 

Our Partnership – Consortium

• 🇮🇹 Timeducation di Tiziana Marinelli (Italy) – Coordinating Organisation: Project management, coordination, and dissemination event organization
• 🇪🇸 MEDIO CUBO SL (Spain) – Digital Partner: Online game development and multimedia content creation
• 🇬🇷 AKADIMOS KDVM EPE (Greece) – Education Partner: Documentary production, website management, and social media communication

 

Our Target Groups

We engage diverse adult learners across all three participating countries:

Young adults (18-30 years): Students, early-career professionals, and individuals with limited opportunities

Older adults (65+ years): Experienced citizens with valuable historical perspectives

Professionals and community leaders: Educators, journalists, local officials, and civil society representatives

Community members: All citizens interested in strengthening European democracy

 

Learning Outcomes

Through our activities, adult participants develop critical competences in:

Digital Literacy: Safe and critical navigation of online information, recognition and countering of misinformation

Civic Competences: Understanding of national and European institutions, informed participation in democratic processes

Critical Thinking: Analysis of political information, evaluation of media sources, resistance to extremism

European Citizenship Awareness: Knowledge of EU values, institutions, and opportunities for civic participation

Intergenerational Dialogue: Exchange of perspectives between generations on history, politics, and European identity

 

Our Educational Approach

VOICE-EU employs non-formal adult education methodologies that emphasize:

Participatory learning: Active engagement through discussions, debates, and hands-on activities

Peer-to-peer exchange: Intergenerational dialogue and cross-cultural learning

Digital innovation: Use of gamification and online tools to enhance engagement and accessibility

Practical application: Real-world scenarios and case studies relevant to participants’ daily lives

Inclusive design: Accessible formats for all learners, regardless of educational background or socioeconomic status
