Youth Forum
A forum of practices and ideas for euro-mediterranean youth workers who got together for three days of motivating, thoughtful and inspiring talks and workshops.
About the Event
Broadcast from a TV studio in Paris, the online youth forum brought together youth international organizations to share best practices and discuss youth empowerment.
For 3 days, more than 50 participants from France, Sweden, Italy or Morocco gathered – online! – for the youth forum. This interactive seminar marked the end of the Erasmus + program “Findyourself”. In addition, about 20 members from our 4 organizations met in Paris to host this event like a real TV show!
The exchanges were rich: feedbacks from the various internships abroad, workshops about North / South cooperation, impact of health crisis on youth actions, exchanges of practices fostering youth empowerment… The forum ended on whishes and perspectives to continue to cooperate on youth empowerment after Findyourself.

From Our PARTICIPANTS
