    Study Notes

    The European Community

    • The European Community was created in 1967 to rebuild economies and re-establish relationships between countries after World War II.
    • Recent events like Brexit and the European debt crisis have led to questions about the benefits of being in or out of the Union.

    Youth and the European Community

    • Young people tend to have a more positive view of the European Community.
    • However, they are less likely to participate in decision-making, as seen in the UK referendum where only 64% of eligible young voters (18-24) voted, compared to 90% of eligible citizens over 65.

    CATCH-EyoU Project

    • The CATCH-EyoU project is an EU-funded project that aims to identify factors that influence a young person's perspective of Europe.
    • The project started in September 2015 and researched the impact of spending time in other EU countries on a young person's attitude towards the EU.

    Research Findings

    • The study found that spending time in neighbouring countries makes people feel more personally connected to the EU and willing to participate in the political community.
    • University exchange programmes like Erasmus help strengthen European identity and motivate citizens to be involved.

    European Identity and Mobility

    • Free mobility, such as through university exchange programmes, helps create a European identity.
    • This sense of identity, in turn, motivates citizens to be involved in the political community.
