The Network on Youth and Global Citizenship celebrates ten years! At this occasion, the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe is launching the research study “The Network on Youth and Global Citizenship: ten years of youth cooperation and youth participation through its Universities”.

Since last week, trainers, speakers, participants, or partners of our Universities from the last ten years were invited to contribute to a short survey, which is the starting point of the study. The survey focuses on the experiences of its protagonists and comes back to the follow-up and cooperation initiatives that resulted from:

• The University on Youth and Development (UYD),
• The African University on Youth and Development (AUYD),
• The University on Participation and Citizenship / Universidad de Participación Ciudadana (UPC),
• The Mediterranean University on Youth and Global Citizenship (MedUni),
• The Meta-University.

In the coming weeks, a series of interviews and focus groups are foreseen to enrich the study research with further qualitative data from institutional representatives, participants, Network members or trainers of the activities led during the Universities.

This process is implemented in collaboration with an independent researcher from Humanity Consulting. The final publication will measure the added value of the Network and its Universities, so that the North-South Centre continues to improve its programmes and to contribute to the global youth agenda and the youth sector at large.

If you joined one of the Universities mentioned above in the last ten years, and you would like to join the survey, we invite you to send us an email to [email protected], by 5 September 2021.
