On 27 January 2023, representatives of youth centres in the Council of Europe Quality Label for Youth Centres network came together in an online meeting to follow up on the main outcomes of the study visit and seminar for youth workers and representatives of youth centres providing youth work during war time in Ukraine. The meeting was organised by the Council of Europe and the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine at the European Youth Centre in Strasbourg between 5-10 December 2022 with the participation of youth workers coming from Quality Labelled Youth Centres, namely De Hoge Rielen Youth Centre (Belgium), Killarney Youth Centre (Ireland), Timisoara Youth House (FITT) (Romania), Centre Cinqfontaines of the Service national de la jeunesse (Luxembourg).

 As an outcome of the study visit, some concrete ideas were identified for developing support measures with representatives of Ukrainian youth centres such as: Human Rights Education training organised by FITT Timisoara youth centre with two different groups, one in English (for Romanian employees in youth centres) and one in Ukrainian (for Ukrainian employees and for several youth workers from Ukraine); FITT is also establishing a central warehouse for donations of second-hand furniture and construction materials which can be used to rebuild youth centres once the war stops; Eurog Killarney youth centre reinforced its commitment to deliver an online training programme for Ukrainian youth workers, which has been challenging to start due to compromised energy supplies in Ukraine; another initiative by Eurog Killarney is to align peer learning and study visits to Ireland with their training programmes; De Hoge Rielen has expressed interest to receive volunteers from Ukraine as part of their international youth work; and Marttinen Youth Centre is working with the support and integration of Ukrainian refugee families, including children and youth in their region/Finland.

 It was agreed that the next European Platform for Youth Centres meeting held on 9-10 May in Strasbourg, will be another important moment to follow up on the various initiatives for cooperation between Quality Labelled Youth Centres and Ukrainian youth centres and youth workers.
