Empowering Youth, Building the Future Together
A cross-continental journey of collaboration, learning, and action to shape a more inclusive and sustainable world for young people.
Welcome to EYES
A Community for Change
Welcome to EYES – Empowering Youth: Erasmus Plus Virtual Exchange, a three-year project that unites youth and organizations from Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa to promote social inclusion, active citizenship, and youth empowerment through innovative online exchange and local action.
Through a powerful mix of virtual dialogues, targeted trainings, and community-based activities, EYES engages over 2,000 young people and facilitators from 8 countries, building bridges between cultures and turning ideas into action.
Together, we want to:
- Equip young people with tools for real-world impact
- Raise awareness on pressing global issues
- Create a long-lasting digital and human network of solidarity
A Living Project, Rooted in People, Powered by Participation
EYES is designed to create a vibrant and sustainable learning ecosystem that grows with its community.
The EYES project is carefully designed across three years to provide a complete experience of empowerment, growth and active involvement for both youth and youth workers.
It combines digital tools, monthly interactions and grassroots activities, ensuring that what is learned becomes lived, shared, and transformed into real impact.
EYES is not a linear project!
It’s a circular and evolving ecosystem.
Its structure allows for reflection, connection, co-creation and
transformation across borders, cultures and disciplines.
Our objectives focus on:
- Engage youth in democratic life
- Encourage sustainable and informed choices
- Connect education with job opportunities
- Promote solidarity and mental wellbeing
- Empower youth workers in virtual exchange
Knowledge. Awareness. Action.
Our goals aim to empower, engage, and transform youth into active global citizens.
From Dialogue to Real-World Impact
We turn participation into action, and learning into transformation. Through its activities, EYES will deliver concrete and replicable results to benefit
not only participants, but also local communities and youth ecosystems across partner countries.
