What is it about?

To celebrate 30 years of Eurodesk Ireland, we showcased 30 people (faces) for the TTM month of October -1 person a day. We produced a 30 × 30-second video where each person shared their European experience in a way that is social-media ready. They each spoke about where they went in Europe, with which European programme (European Solidarity Corps, DiscoverEU), and how the experience impacted their life afterwards. It included words of encouragement to young people thinking of going abroad.

It is important to say that this project was a collaboration of four multipliers from four different organisations—Crosscare, Youth Work Ireland Limerick, Youth Work Ireland Galway, and Europe Direct Sligo—which ensured that the project was dynamic and diverse.

How is this project relevant to the specific category?

This project targeted a wide range of young people, including those with few opportunities, young people with disabilities, those living in rural areas, and those who have never heard of or participated in European opportunities. We did this by sourcing a diverse group of participants—considering age, gender, nationality, rural/urban background, EU programme experience, ethnic background, educational background, and language. This was done to ensure that young people would ‘recognise’ themselves and realise that someone like them can benefit from European opportunities.

What was the impact of the project?

The project was on social media through a national campaign and reached young people who may not have a local multiplier – the approach of diversity ensured that the young person would ‘recognise’ themselves and realise that someone like them can benefit from European Opportunities.

Did the project have any green focus?

The project had an eco-friendly element due to the fact it was online.

How did you ensure Eurodesk's visibility in your project?
