It was a crucial meeting to start a more systematic process of coordination amoung youth in the Baltic Sea Regions, to share with all the participants what has been done so far and which steps to be taken for the future.
The topics discussed focused on the practical instruments to engage young people and to improve communication between youth organizations.
Young people underlined the real need to have the opportunity to meet several times a year, in addition to online meetings, to build a strong cooperation within the Baltic Sea Regions.
The wokshop on the second day, brought some real ideas for the possibilities and applications that youth can catch in the frame of Erasmus + program. Thanks to the experts present, youth have started to draw the initial ideas that will be developed in the future.
Young people are planning to create a video and a
letter for all organizations, politicians and adults who can and want to actively contribute, in
order to ask their support.
Let’s make our voice heard!
