The project Europe@myDesk aims at bringing Europe closer to young people and young workers through an improved and active access to information on European issues. The core part of the project is a series of twelve events called DeskEvents lasting 3 days, which will be held in twelve different European countries. All events will include a training in project management, an information event in a school and/or university, and a workshop on youth journalism.

In the Europe@myDesk framework, we will organise a DeskChallenge to motivate young people to continue to be active in their country.

The DeskChallenge is divided in 2 parts.

The first competition focuses on developing tools to motivate young people to get involved in training and information on European issues in schools or at youth events with innovative and original tools. So, they have one month to organise an event in their city/country (Europe@mySchool intervention, or street actions…).

The second competition  focuses on how to develop a consistent editorial project on European issues. The participants of the NewsDesk event will be invited to write an article on European issues in our webzine: thenewfederalist.eu and/or in its partner magazines taurillon.fr, eurobull.it and taurin-magazin.de. The competition focuses in developing similar editorial projects, but possibly with new tools or original ideas, in other European languages.

The project is funded with support from the European Commission.
