The SALTO-YOUTH network of Resource Centres organised approximately 81activities in 2010 (courses, seminars, study visits, staff trainings), mostly in cooperation with NAs and other partners (49 in 2009 42 in 2008, 40 in 2007, 48 in 2006, 45 in 2005, 40 in 2004). SALTO online application & selection procedure was used with most of those activities (easier access, greater transparency, more efficient course management). SALTO-YOUTH coordinated and co-organised further 33 so called "network activities" (27 in 2009 = BTM, SOHO, TicTac, European Citizenship TCs, ToT, TOM, Appetiser,... - more explanation here), where on-line applications were used as always.
In 2010 the SALTO website (www.salto-youth.net) saw an increase of visits (a visit is defined as one user arriving on one of our pages, till s/he leaves the SALTO pages again. Within one visit a user can view several pages. A user can make several visits to our site).
You downloaded in total over 9'465 different files in 2010 (4'590 in 2009) from the SALTO website, and this 592'846 times (471'243 in 2009). This represents an amazing total of 598 gigabytes of data (489 Gb in 2009).
You, the National Agencies and SALTO listed 193 activities in the European Training Calendar (183 in 2009, 172 in 2008, 157 in 2007, 192 in 2006, 169 in 2005, 167 in 2004).
By the end of 2010 there were 350 experienced youth work trainers listed in the TOY database (270 in 2009). Also in 2010 the TOY trainers were 'refreshed' meaning that in-active trainers were put offline (till they update their profile again). This gives you only up-to-date trainer profiles for your international youth training activities.
The information via the 8 different SALTO Newsletters reaches between 4'000 and 8'000 readers per newsletter in 2010 and new issues of the "Meet'In EuroMed", "SeeYOUth" and "YOUTHin7" magazines were published and distributed on a regular basis.
Many new educational publications, reports, booklets, guides saw the light, see more here!
