YouPart is a 30-month Erasmus+ project that aims to encourage young people to become active citizens, help prevent youth social exclusion, and improve the impact of their decisions at a policy-making level.
The YouPart Kick-off Meeting took place in Vienna from 31st March to 1st of April 2022. Partners from Austria (Bundesweites Netzwerk Offene Jugendarbeit, Südwind), Greece (KAINOTOMIA), Italy (WeWorld, Associazione Culturale Oltre), Serbia (Narodni Parliament, Timocki Omladinski Centar), Slovenia (Humanitas, Zavod Mladinska Mreza MaAMa) and Czechia (Ekumenická akademie, Spolek zastáncu detskych práv) participated in person, while INNOVED from Greece joined virtually via Zoom.
During the 1st day, partners got to know better each other, introduce themselves and their organizations in more details. On the top priority of the agenda was to discuss any organisational issues, such as the finalisation of the project’s Logo, and the workshops planned and to set the dates for local and national workshops in Austria, Greece, Slovenia, Chechia, Italy and Serbia.
The 2nd day of the meeting, partners agreed on the dates of the 1st Youth Conference in Vienna, 2nd TPM in Serbia, 2nd Youth Conference in Prague and EU Roundtable on Brussels and brainstormed on their agendas.
