The new programme has a simplified structure with three strands (Remembrance, Civic participation and Valorisation) and it aims to bring Europe closer to its citizens, as well as to improve citizens’ awareness and understanding of the European Union, which should ultimately increase citizens' participation in EU political life.
Uuel programmil on lihtsustatud kolmesuunaline struktuur (ajalooline mälu, kodanikuosalus ja väärtustamine) ning selle eesmärk on Euroopat kodanikele lähendada ja samuti parandada kodanike teadlikkust ja teadmisi Euroopa Liidust, mis omakorda peaks suurendama kodanike osalemist ELi poliitilises elus.
