"Good Practices Exchange to Increase Youth Participation" guide is published!
After the successful educational seminar on the European Union Youth Strategy on 16th May 2023, the collaboration between partners in the TUNE network resulted in the creation of the "Good Practices Exchange to Increase Youth Participation" guide. The primary goal of this document is to highlight and present the best practices that have been identified by TUNE partners in organizing Info Days for specific youth target groups. These practices have been carefully selected to align with the objectives of the EU Youth Strategy, with a specific focus on enhancing youth participation through inclusive practices in European programs and mobility projects. The guide offers valuable insights and practical approaches to engage and involve young people from various backgrounds and with diverse interests in the initiatives and opportunities offered by the European Union. By sharing these successful strategies, the TUNE network aims to empower other organizations and stakeholders in the youth sector to effectively organize Info Days that cater to the needs and preferences of young participants. The guide emphasizes the significance of inclusive practices, ensuring that all young people, regardless of their backgrounds, abilities, or circumstances, have equal access to information and opportunities. By promoting diversity and inclusivity, the document aims to foster a more representative and engaging youth involvement in European initiatives.
The 1st Seminar on European Youth Policy Frameworks, held on May 16, 2023
was a collaborative effort organized by USB. The seminar brought together a diverse group of 22 participants representing 17 TUNE organizations, who actively engaged in a virtual Zoom meeting.
The seminar commenced with a thought-provoking keynote presentation that shed light on the European Union (EU) Youth Strategy and its key priorities. Elina Azopoulou (Head of Project Management) from USB, provided a comprehensive overview of the EU's ongoing efforts to address various youth-related issues. Emphasizing the significance of youth policies and programs, Elina highlighted notable initiatives such as Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps. She stressed the importance of establishing strong connections between the EU youth strategy and local, national, and European levels to ensure effective implementation.
