Youth for Exchange and Understanding International is expressing deep concerns regarding the recent attacks in Ukraine. WAR IS NEVER A SOLUTION! 

The YEU team travelled to Trento, Italy at the end of November, to attend KID_ACTIONS’ first European Policy, Research, and Practitioners Forum. Between the 29th and 30th of November 2021, more than 70 participants from 10 different countries gathered onsite and online to attend the event that marked the mid-term of this project. 

With 2021 coming to an end it was time to meet our friends from Member Organizations from the YEU network for the second General Assembly of the year. 
The General Assembly 2021 – Winter Edition happened online once again. Regardless, it was amazing to see so many of our friends’ faces and welcome some new ones into the group. 

Brave New YOU – Reloaded aims at building capacities and trust among different youth communities to co-create together a more inclusive and open-minded Europe.

YEU network has been seriously committed to sustainability and environmental issues for a very long time as we believe that whatever topic we are discussing, an overarching idea should be how to stop global warming with our own actions, actions taking place in the local communities and among our peers. Climate change is a global issue that can be resolved locally if each individual starts making small behavioural and lifestyle changes concerning three main factors – demands, choices and attitudes.

The aim of the training is to build the youth workers’ capacity to ensure local impact and local engagement of young people taking part in international mobilities through effective follow-up strategies based on the outputs of the project: digital follow-up platform (IO1) and the guidelines and creating a successful follow-up strategy (IO2).

In YEU we have been focusing our work in recent years on developing educational methodologies especially to improve the involvement of young people coming from disadvantaged groups to be more involved in societies, as well as to support those delivering youth work activities to do it in a quality manner.
