On 17 and 18 November, the EYF visited the Changemakers Academy, a Pilot Activity organised by The Young Republic, a Swedish NGO based in Stockholm, with the support of the EYF. This was the closing event of a 6 month project, in which young migrants and refugees from Stockholm and surrounding areas gained skills and knowledge to develop and implement projects in their communities, addressing political participation and inclusion of different minority groups. The results were presented in a public conference which also included a discussion with the attending audience and some words by the EYF.
Visits to projects
The European Youth Foundation is visiting projects it is supporting and run by non-governmental youth organisations.
Through the visits the Foundation expects to increase the visibility of the EYF and the Council of Europe; give feedback to the Programming Committee on Youth (more about the Committee); establish contact with youth NGOs; get to know NGOs and the work they do.
Visited projects are organised by non-governmental youth organisations (NGOs) which are registered with the Foundation and received a grant. (More information on the application process).
