Youth Worker Exchange Candriai, Italy | 13-19 November 2024

What is the project “The future is Europe” about?

"The Future is Europe" project, under the Erasmus+ program, is dedicated to fostering collaboration and sharing best practices among youth workers across Europe. Our mission is clear: to build the Exchange together, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and sharing in our endeavors. The central theme of our project revolves around effectively narrating the European Union to the youth and promoting its values through our work.

Our agenda for the Youth Worker Exchange program prioritizes the creation of a dynamic platform where participants can share their diverse professional experiences within the sector. We aim to recognize and harness individual skills and competencies, empowering each other through engaging non-formal learning activities. These activities will be carefully curated to foster collaboration, reflection, and personal development among participants.
