About SALTO-YOUTH

What is SALTO-YOUTH?

SALTO-YOUTH is a network of seven Resource Centres working on European priority areas within the youth field.

As part of the European Commission's Training Strategy, SALTO-YOUTH provides non-formal learning resources for youth workers and youth leaders and organises training and contact-making activities to support organisations and National Agencies (NAs) within the frame of the European Commission's Erasmus+ Youth programme, the European Solidarity Corps, and beyond.

On this website you'll find lots of tools:

• European Training Calendar is where you'll find trainings and seminars run by SALTO, European Solidarity Corps Resource Centre, Erasmus+ NAs and NGOs in the youth field
• Toolbox for Training contains hundreds of tools and activity ideas for youth work
• Otlas Partner Finding puts you in touch with thousands of youth projects, so you can build strong partnerships and apply for Erasmus+
• Trainers Online for Youth is our directory of over 500 trainers, who can deliver your international training activities

Who does what?

The seven resource centres each focus on a specific topic or region. They are all based at a different Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps National Agency. The resource centres are:

• SALTO Inclusion & Diversity (Belgium-Flanders)
• SALTO Participation & Information (Estonia)
• SALTO Training and Cooperation (Germany)
• SALTO Eastern Europe and Caucasus (Poland)
• SALTO EuroMed (France)
• SALTO South-East Europe (Slovenia)
• European Solidarity Corps Resource Centre (Austria)

In addition to their specific priorities, the SALTO-YOUTH Resource Centres have a number of joint tasks such as developing training resources, sending regular newsletters about European YOUTH priorities, providing a European Training Calendar, making experienced European youth trainers accessible and evaluating the training activities.

SALTO Partnerships & Cooperation

SALTO-YOUTH does not take over the work of other actors in the field - on the contrary - SALTO strives to complement existing initiatives orbuild synergies between them.

• SALTO provides multilateral Training Courses, in cooperation with National Agencies/Coordinators, about European Priority Topics and according to NA's needs
• SALTO works together with the EU-CoE youth partnership in many thematic development areas, on publications like Coyote and T-Kits, through interlinking between their websites, et al.
• The SALTO EuroMed Resource Centre is a partner in the EuroMed Partnership agreement between the Council of Europe and the European Commission
• SALTO cooperates with the European Youth Forum and lists their Pool of Trainers members in Trainers Online for Youth.
