Programme 2: Training and capacity building of young people and youth organisations

Activity 5: North-South Centre’s participation in the Euro-Med Youth Covenant

Context and organisation: The Council of Europe and the European Commission have developed since 2003 a Partnership on Youth covering 3 main areas of cooperation: youth research and policy; European citizenship and quality development; Euro-Med, Human Rights Education and intercultural dialogue. The role of this Partnership is to explore new areas of cooperation beyond those provided by the Euro-Med youth programme; youth policy is one of such areas.
