The publication summarizes the first major practical phase of the EUphoria project. 26 civic education workshops were conducted in Romania, Ukraine, Cyprus, and France, involving 299 young participants. The material demonstrates how non-formal education, intercultural dialogue, and engaging with European values foster active citizenship, the development of critical thinking, communication, teamwork, and social inclusion. Special attention is paid to the participation of Ukrainian youth and the next phase of the project - the development of the EUphoria digital civic game.

Key findings:
Civic education becomes more effective when young people not only learn about democracy, human rights, and European values, but also have opportunities to put these principles into practice. The EUphoria experience highlights the importance of interactive and non-formal learning methods in building confidence, critical thinking, mutual understanding, and readiness to participate actively in community life.
