ACTIVITIES

YOUROTRIP is a 2-year project which involves the following activities:

  • A series of 7 youth exchanges with young participants from 8 European countries aiming to enhance the ability of youth to cooperate regardless the place of origin and cultural background.

.

At the end of each exchange the local youth who have been involved in the action, formulate a Local Youth Council, who then undertake to create networks though networking events, and roundtables with local stakeholders (Local and Regional Authorities, Schools, Universities, NGOs, Enterprises, Environmental and Youth Associations), share their vision, and ask for their support by signing an MoU altogether, stating the willingness to cooperate and support each other in future initiatives aiming at a more sustainable future.

.

Finally, representatives of all the Local Youth Councils across Europe, are going to present their policy recommendations to European Institutions in Brussels, in order to shape the future strategies concerning youth and environment, whilst a joint proposal idea will be developed in order to look for a way to continue and expand the network of Youth Councils.
