SALTO Information Resource Centre

One of the eight SALTO-YOUTH Resource Centres is maybe not so visible to the outside, but all the more usefull for all the 'behind the scenes' work for the National Agencies for the 'Youth in Action' programme.

SALTO Information Resource Centre

The SALTO Information Resource Centre is established to develop and facilitate the internal communication, co-operation, and information

• among and between the National Agencies, the SALTO-YOUTH Resource Centres for the 'Youth in Action' programme, the European Commission (DG EAC), and the Executive Agency in order to maximise the efficiency of the implementation, promotion, and management of the 'Youth in Action' programme.

The target group of the SALTO Information Resource Centre is the staff of the National Agencies, the SALTO-YOUTH Resource Centres, the European Commission (DG EAC), and the Executive Agency.

The objectives by which the SALTO Information Resource Centre fulfils its above mission are the following:

• to develop and operate an Internet-based extranet (not open to the public), called Youthnet, through which it stimulates and facilitates daily communication, co-ordination, and co-operation between the staff of the National Agencies, the SALTO-YOUTH Resource Centres, and the European Commission, and also to support and stimulate co-operation and networking in the field of communication - link directly to Youthnet here
• to organise training activities on communication for the information officers of the network, to support the development of information and communication strategies within the network of National Agencies, to contribute to improved co-ordination of the activities within the network, and to co-operate with the information officers of the European Commission (DG EAC) in developing communication tools and enhancing the visibility of 'Youth in Action'

The SALTO Information Resource Centre is operated by Ungdomsstyrelsen, the Swedish National Agency and MOBILITÁS, the Hungarian National Agency.

The technical development of Youthnet so as contractual management of the project is the responsability of Ungdomsstyrelsen while Mobilitás is in charge of the content management of Youthnet so as the organisation of the yearly training for NA information officers.
