EuroPeers: European Network Meeting

EuroPeers are young people who have participated in the Erasmus + YOUTH IN ACTION programme and want to share their European experiences with their peers. They inform young people in schools, youth clubs, culture centres or on the street and talk about their experiences. They inform about the Erasmus + YOUTH IN ACTION programme and its possibilities as well as other mobility programmes. By leading workshops or lessons and by organising exhibitions, they motivate young people to become active and explore Europe. So far this project is implemented by the National Agencies in Austria, Belgium (FL), Estonia, Germany, Norway and Poland. The first European EuroPeers Network Meeting will provide a discussion forum for different players of the above mentioned countries who are active in the EuroPeers project. The meeting aims at establishing the network at European level and supporting the development of national EuroPeers networks. The Network Meeting shall provide an opportunity for networking between EuroPeers, National Agencies and other players (e. g. Eurodesk staff), to plan national and international EuroPeers activities (including collecting ideas for the next European Youth Week), to share and develop best practice, to share ideas and to make concrete decisions about how the network will function. This activity is hosted by the German NA and co-organised by the NAs of Austria, Belgium (FL), Estonia, Norway and Poland. Interested participants from other Programme countries can – in exceptional cases – join the event as well if their National Agencies support their participation, cover their travel expenses and are interested in joining the EuroPeers network in the future.
