SALTO in 2011 - increase of activities and your visits!

The SALTO-YOUTH network of Resource Centres organised approximately 124 activities in 2011 (courses, seminars, study visits, staff trainings), mostly in cooperation with NAs and other partners (81 in 2010, 49 in 2009). 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 49 so called "network activities" (33 in 2010 = BTM, SOHO, TicTac, European Citizenship TCs, ToT, TOM, Appetiser,... - more explanation here), where on-line applications were used as always.

NOTE: figures based on the 2010 webstatistics by Urchin and our Content Management System by webFactory - SALTO is not responsible for possible errors or incoherence. Technical changes on the SALTO website in 2010 explain the drop in numbers - however figures before 2010 and from 2010 onward are comparable.

Also have a look at the SALTO Statistics for 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and our webstats.
