Empower Youth, Explore Stories
EYES empowers youth to engage with their cultural heritage through digital storytelling, fostering community identity, active citizenship, and a deeper connection to European values.
The Empower Youth, Explore Stories (EYES) project aims to connect young people with their cultural heritage by empowering them to create multimedia heritage tours. The project offers an immersive learning experience that enhances digital literacy while preserving local traditions using digital storytelling. It also enables youth to link their heritage to broader European values such as diversity, democracy, and unity, fostering a deeper understanding of their cultural identity and its relevance in Europe.
EYES strengthens community ties by fostering intergenerational dialogue. The project offer young people to become active creators by giving them the tools to create their own digital tours. This empowerment helps youth connect with their communities and develop a sense of belonging while enhancing their role in shaping local and European culture.
The project will offer educators valuable resources (guides, toolkits, and best practices to support the development of heritage tours). These materials will be accessible to a wide range of communities, ensuring that all young people can benefit from the project. The resources will ensure that the impact of the project is sustainable, with the tours continuing after the project ends.

Thanks to our diverse consortium, the project will develop a platform for cross-cultural exchange, helping youth gain a deeper appreciation of Europe’s diverse cultural heritage. EYES helps shape Europe’s future by empowering the next generation to preserve and share their culture.
