The problem of young people's lack of information about available European Union (EU) programs is especially pronounced among youth from non-EU countries. The data show that young people from non-EU countries participate in volunteer programs, youth and student exchanges, international seminars, internship programs and other forms of non-formal education across the continent, which are available to young people from the EU, but also young people from countries they are not members of the EU. In this regard, a manual has been created which is not only a source of information about opportunities for young people, but also a tool for organizing a campaign that aims to inform more young people about these opportunities.

This awareness campaign is the result of the work of young people from Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Austria, Moldova and Romania who participated in the "50 Ideas for Europe" competition, especially those awarded in the field of Europe for You(th) which were the basis of this publication. Without their creative and innovative ideas as well as initiated changes at the local, national, regional and European level, this analysis, ie. publication would not be possible.

The publication was created through the project "50 ideas for Europe: New leaders, New Opportunities" which is realized by the Belgrade Open School with the support of the Novi Sad – European Youth Capital 2019 (OPENS).
