Despite the numerous online meetings that we organize with NEUEYT partners, the feeling of physical meetings with colleagues and collaborators with whom you develop and create something truly special and unique for the youth of Europe cannot be compared, the positive atmosphere that can only be achieved with physical presence and effectiveness and the productivity of the participants happened from 15-16 November.

Last week, the third transnational partner meeting was held in Pau, France, hosted by the partners from Pistes Solidaries who welcomed us in their offices, and organized everything  all well. We are glad that representatives from all partner organizations attended the meeting Glocal Factory, E-Trikala, Poraka Nova, Foris, Agderand Hub Nicosia.  

During the day and a half agenda the participants managed to define some important future steps, agree on how some activities should be further developed and catch up about the status of the initiatives implementation in each country, as well about the organization of stakeholder table meetings.

On the first day on the agenda we had to work on Recommendations/guidelines for policy makers and stakeholders, the Research action,  afterwards we continued with Quality insurance, the monitoring of the 8 activities and closed the first day with the wrap up and conclusion.

On the second day we continued with presentation and discussion about the Dissemination of the project, the Framework and how to proceed with finalization at due time, ended with activities from the aspect of the management of the project and had free time to explore the amazing city of Pau.

Thanks to all who participated and made this great event happen!

Our second event the Lab meeting and training for co-designing the framework of the initiatives or the second transnational partners meeting was held in Trikala from 29 September until 1 October, 2021. Hosted by the Greek partner E-Trikala, participants from each partner country France, Italy, North Macedonia, Greece, Cyprus and Norway were present and presented their ideas and worked together in order to develop one of the most important documents within NEUEYT project.

During our 3-day joint staff training event the participants actively cooperate in the laboratory and discuss about the results of the best practices collection and analysis that was created earlier, had session for reflection and debate on the lessons learned by the selected best practices in order to focus relevant inputs for the design and the development of the Novel Framework for democratic participation and Engagement of Underrepresented European Youngsters – NEUEYT, which is one of the major outputs in this project, as well valorising the sharing of knowledge in the field of youth engagement according to peer learning approach.

Fist of all a presentation of the list of potential initiatives was made, after which establishing the roadmap for initiative was decided for 8 initiatives that were selected and all participants worked in groups. On the last day a presentation of all finalized and selected initiatives was done and the partners from E-Trikala presented couple of co-creation activities on how to get measurable feedback from policy makers and youngsters.

Looking forward to implement our great initiatives which will motivate young people towards participation on many levels.

The First Partners Transnational Meeting was held in Verona, Italy from 6-7 September 2021, within the NEUEYET Project – Novel Framework for democratic participation and Engagement of Underrepresented European Youngsters. The event took place in the marvelous venue of Galleria Giustizia Vecchia, in Verona where most of the partners joined the physical meeting and the rest of the partners who couldn’t attend the event due to the Covid 19 restrictions participated via ZOOM platform.
