Together Czech Republic

Together is a pan-European network of youth organisations. It was created in Metz, France in 2003 by a few people convinced about the value of international mobility, volunteering, citizenship and participation of young people at international level. Soon after, Together spread in many other European countries and also beyond Europe.

Every year, the network brings TOGETHER several thousand young people from different cultures through international youth exchanges, voluntary service, seminars, training courses and many activities on local level.

Together works on pan-European basis and recognizes the values of networking principles. Therefore, it supports creation of new and development of existing partnerships among civic organizations from many European countries as well as from all over the world.

The target group of Together and it’s partners is in general civic society and specifically young people, being the generation that is ”to make a difference”. We believe deeply that active participation of young people can empower them, their friends and the society around them.

Together Czech Republic organises various youth exchanges, international seminars and training courses for young people and youth workers about topics like youth participation, global challenges, European citizenship, media and democracy, etc. One of the flagship projects of Together Czech Republic is the Junior Internet project (www.juniorinternet.cz) for talented young Internet enthusiasts running their own Internet projects. The Junior Internet project started in 2000 in Czech Republic and spread to Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. More than 5000 young people participated in it and registered their own websites and Internet projects.
