Belgium – The “Catholic Toolkit for Young Europeans”: a guideline ahead of the European elections

(ANS – Bruxelles) – Between 6 and 9 June 2024, approximately 350 million people in the 27 EU Member States will be called upon to cast their votes in the 10th European elections. In view of this important political commitment, the COMECE Youth Platform, which brings together Catholic youth organizations active at the EU level, promotes the ‘Catholic Toolkit for Young Europeans’, a comprehensive toolkit that aims to empower young people across Europe to actively engage in the democratic process, guided by the principles of Catholic Social Teaching.

As members of the Platform, Don Bosco International (DBI) and Don Bosco Youth-Net (DBYN) contributed to develop the toolkit, which provides young people and youth organisations with essential tools to communicate about the upcoming EU elections, encouraging voter participation and civic engagement for shaping future of Europe.

The toolkit offers informative content, reflection questions, and practical insights on five main topics like politics, citizenship, the Common Good, European identity, and critical thinking, as well as useful links to external resources, motivating young people to reflect on the ethical values such as solidarity, justice, and human dignity.

For a better accessibility and understanding, the COMECE Youth Net translated the toolkit into 13 languages.

Download the toolkit in your language.
