Erasmus+ initiatives in Italy have focused on enhancing youth involvement in democratic and digital governance. In Potenza, the 30-month E-Gov4Youth project concluded with a memorandum of understanding between Exeo Lab and the Municipality of Potenza to sustain digital administration tools and e-governance training.

Following this, an Erasmus+ youth exchange titled ‘The Skills Behind Democracy’ was held in Modica. This program brought together participants from Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Bulgaria, and Turkey to engage in non-formal education aimed at making democratic participation an accessible right through practical simulations and civic engagement activities.
