Name and description of the project: Actigame aims to raise young people’s awareness on the issues of active citizenship, not only focusing on the right to vote, but also on the topic of youth employment, the progressive increase of NEETs (young people who are not in education, neither employed nor seeking employment and are not engaged in other educational activities, such as internships or apprenticeships). The project aims therefore to stimulate youth participation in citizenship through ’gamification’, for example by using interactive games and non-formal learning methodologies.
