The Project aims at strengthening the understanding of the European politics and governance among youth from the Eastern Partnership countries by facilitating access of the beneficiaries to the one-year advanced master’s programme European Interdisciplinary Studies offered by the College of Europe, Natolin, in the years 2021-2024.
By providing the opportunities to study at the College of Europe, the Project encourages young people to take part in the democratic process, be active citizens and succeed in the labour market.

Young people from the Eastern Partnership countries will receive scholarships to study in the postgraduate programme European Interdisciplinary Studies at the College of Europe, Natolin, which is located in a historic mansion and nature reserve and welcomes 130 students from more than 30 countries each year.

The studies will strengthen the competencies of career guidance and professional development, participation in political processes, adaptation to change, language skills, and provide many networking opportunities.
