Together with ten amazing people we have created a (political) interview series on youth participation. Join us in listening and watching, but also interacting, reflecting and acting. Let’s have a go at dialogue about exciting ideas presented in the videos.
Together with JUGEND für Europa, the National Agency (Germany) for the EU programmes Erasmus+ Youth in Action and the European Solidarity Corps we are engaged in the process looking at the issue of the political dimension in youth work, particularly within the framework of European youth programmes.
