A Market Niche

EUforIA seeks to serve as the missing link between a latent demand of young people to become active and the opportunities offered to young leaders by the existing pioneer organizations.

The problem we are facing today is that many young people are unaware of the pressing issues and problems on the globe and in their own communities. Many people are ignorant of the important role of non-partisan organizations in fighting these problems and hardly anybody knows about the possibilities and opportunities of getting involved.

While there are some great examples of citizen-driven initiatives and engaged young leaders, many students remain unaware of the purposes, goals and often the mere existence of these initiatives. They simply do not know that there are other young people with the same ideals and beliefs, waiting to team up and get involved.

EUforIA believes that there is a lot of untapped human potential and talent, especially at universities, which is just waiting to be put to efficient use. However, the existing organizations at universities are often weak and unknown to fellow students. This is why we are intending to popularize emerging as well as existing organizations among young leaders of tomorrow. At the same time, we are trying to increase awareness of critical questions of global, regional, national and local concern. Providing a source of information and a platform for discussion, we also show how and where to become active.

In short, our role is essentially that of an intermediate organizer. We use the knowledge of existing organizations in order to inform and incite young people to become active on behalf of young European s interests.
