How can youth work support and strenghten youth participation in remote areas of Europe?

As part of the Advisory Board, POYWE was present at this years Europe Goes Local Conference in Tromsø 🇳🇴

Together with local youth work stakeholders, practitioners, NGOs, EU policy makers, politicians and academics, we are exploring how quality youth work can create meaningful opportunities for young people to participate, influence decisions, and shape their communities — regardless of geography.

From sharing promising practices to discussing policy developments and local realities, the conference is an important space for strengthening youth work across Europe and ensuring that no young person’s voice is left unheard.

This week we are at the kick-off meeting for the new Erasmus+ cooperation partnership "Creating Spaces of Democracy - Advancing professional Open Youth Work Across Europe" in Berlin, where POYWE is one of the partners.

The event marks the start of the 3 year project and brings together partners from Germany, Croatia, Austria, Slovenia, Denmark, South Tyrol, Norway and Switzerland
The aim of the meeting is to start the process towards a shared European understanding of what professional open youth work is in order to strengheten its position in Europe.

POYWE is excited to be a part of this important project!
