The 4Voices project aims to create active dialogue among younger generations, encouraging reflection on the past, present, and future of Europe. One of the main goals of the project is to deconstruct and decolonize dominant historical narratives - which are often Eurocentric and patriarchal - by giving voice to those who have been historically marginalized. In doing so, 4Voices seeks to contribute to a fairer and more inclusive representation of European history.
Another key objective is to gather the voices of young Europeans, listening to their emotions, fears, and aspirations. These voices are essential for developing concrete, inclusive, and just policy recommendations that can respond to the challenges Europe is facing today and will face in the future.
The selection of 12 Youth Ambassadors from different European countries is a central element of the project. These Youth Ambassadors focus on topics related to human rights and democratic participation, helping to develop strategies to collect youth voices, challenge dominant narratives, and promote an innovative and inclusive approach. This approach is based on critical reflection on Europe's past, present, and future, with the goal of creating positive change for future generations.
