‘Young European Communicators’: youth from Euro Clubs learn how to turn information about EU into digital campaigns

The ‘Young European Communicators’ School’, held from 1 to 3 May in Chisinau, Moldova, as part of the ‘EU Accelerator 3.0’ programme, brought together 40 young members of Euro Clubs and EU Information Centres, along with their coordinators.

The ‘EU Accelerator 3.0’, funded by the European Union, is a practical training initiative aiming to develop a new generation of European communicators, able to explain, in a clear and accessible way, the processes, values and opportunities associated with European integration.

Over three days, participants learned how to analyse perceptions in their communities, identify myths and false information about the EU, develop data-based messages, and design communication campaigns adapted to local audiences.

The programme included interactive sessions on digital communication, storytelling, campaign development, interpretation of data collected in communities, and the use of social media to promote public interest messages. Participants worked in teams, analysed the results of local research, and tested campaign ideas through practical exercises and debates. 

“There is something remarkable about your generation: you do not only consume information; you also create it. Through this ability, you have the opportunity to shape public opinion and communicate messages about complex issues, such as what Europe means, what European integration means, and what European values stand for,” said Máté Csicsai, Deputy Head of the EU Delegation to the Republic of Moldova.

The ‘Young European Communicators’ School’ is the third stage of the ‘EU Accelerator 3.0’ programme, taking place from March to July 2026. Based on its results, young people will develop and implement local communication campaigns on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. The campaigns will address topics relevant to their communities and will promote clear, accessible and fact-based information about the EU and the support it provides to the Republic of Moldova.
