ABOUT THE PROJECT
ON I OFF Line: Youth Engagement Using Digital Tools project is a strategic partnership for innovation and exchange of good practices part of Erasmus plus programme that aims at strengthening the capacities and enhancing their knowledge through exchange of good practices on different trends on digital tools either online or offline.
Since a decade, internet has a huge impact on elections and turnout. From the online campaign of Barack Obama, which was pioneer in the use of social networks in a political campaign, to the recent European elections, which has shown an increase of youth turnout.
