Is iad seo a leanas cuspóirí an tionscnaimh mar a chuir na heagraithe in iúl iad: ‘éilítear leis an Tionscnamh Eorpach ó na Saoránaigh seo go mbeidh sé de cheart ag cách, seachas ag mionlach beag, buneolas a chur ar an Aontas Eorpach agus ar a Saoránacht Eorpach ó aois óg.’ Iarrann na heagraithe ar an gCoimisiún gníomh dlí a mholadh lena dtabharfaí isteach, i gcás na mBallstát uile [,] ceart do gach leanbh chun oideachais ar Shaoránacht Eorpach agus luachanna chearta an duine, an daonlathais agus an smachta reachta agus ‘deis eisceachtúil a thabhairt do gach duine ar mian leo leas a bhaint as an eolas sin agus féachaint ar a bhfuil le tairiscint ag an Eoraip’.
The objectives of the initiative are expressed by the organisers as follows: ‘[t]his ECI [European Citizens’ Initiative] demands a right for everyone, and not just the few, to have a basic knowledge about the EU and their European Citizenship from an early age.’ The organisers call on the Commission to propose a legal act that would, ‘for all the Member States [,] introduce a right for every child to education in European Citizenship and the values of human rights, democracy and the rule of law’ and ‘[g]ive everyone who desires it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put this knowledge to good use and explore what Europe has to offer’.
