On 24 and 25 July 2025, the European Youth Foundation conducted a monitoring visit to the international activity “The essentials of organisational sustainability in youth work” of FEMYSO - Forum of European Muslim Youth and Student Organisations, in Verona, Italy.

This capacity building activity was attended by 35 participants from 12 Council of Europe member States and aimed to empower and equip Muslim youth across Europe by enhancing their organisational skills and operational capacity within their youth organisations. The main objectives were to improve the internal governance of Muslim youth organisations by providing guidance on how to create strong and well-defined organisational structures (this includes working on leadership and accountability, as well as on effective decision-making processes), and to develop long-term strategic plans (this includes working on step-by-step organisational planning, and project management, and sustainable growth).

This project is co-funded by the EYF through a grant for international activities. More information for this type of support can be found at the following link: What is an international activity? - European Youth Foundation
