CUBE. Your take on Europe is a social project aiming to create an inclusive participation channel for young people in Europe. CUBE wants all young people in Europe to envisage the future they want to live in. CUBE prioritises in gathering diverse young opinions, taking into account all kinds of discriminatory experiences that young people have and on which grounds they are excluded from the political process. CUBE overcomes this structural exclusion by reaching out to schools, where, to a certain age, all young people come together. This approach is complemented by a possibility to extend our concept to youth centres.
CUBE facilitates this process in three steps: it provides a workshop toolkit to be facilitated in all context youth engages in, it gathers and analyses the results of those workshops and advocates for them at the EU institutions.

The people’s voice is missing in the EU debate. Therefore, a wide network of organizations and political parties will bring the EU debate to the Danes. 
We do this with the initiative ‘We Want Europe’.

We will meet both the optimism and the skepticism that is present in the debate about Europe. We want to go to Denmark’s homes and at their workplaces. Out to the young people at the educational institutions and visiting the elderly at the country’s day centers. And we will provide educational opportunities for young people on the country’s education programs and to the Danish elderly who dream of getting into Europe.

All of this will be done through four targeted projects: 1001 Home, Roadtrip, Our EU and Erasmus ++.

We want Europe – do you want?

Italics Magazine is an independent Italian online magazine aiming at becoming a reference for readers, professionals and foreign press interested in covering Italian issues thoroughly, appealing to diverse fields of interests and schools of thoughts. We are aware that our country is lacking a complete, in-depth, across-the-board, international and neutral source of information in English. Therefore, we realized that the World needs an ‘Italy inside-out’ storytelling abroad. This would allow foreign readers who do not speak Dante’s language to receive first hand information and opinion from ‘The Boot’, not necessarily and exclusively filtered by foreign sources.
