The next edition of the Meta-University will take place between 19-22 October 2021 featuring a rich programme built together with ten partner organisations coming from different regions of the world.

The Meta-University builds upon the experience of on-field Universities organised by the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe, adapted to the digital environment. It is a global online meeting for networking, capacity building and peer learning for youth workers and youth policy makers. The programme offers a variety of activities, interactive tools, and informal gatherings to reflect on the impact that the digital shift, boosted by the pandemic, brought to the youth sector.

This multi-level experience offers the possibility to practice intercultural dialogue and promote interregional cooperation while sharing concerns and ideas in a comfortable but structured online space.

Ten workshops, three joint sessions and many informal gatherings will explore the impact the global pandemic had on women, the use to gamification to boost online intercultural competences, the models of youth participation in the digital sphere, the advancement of the “Youth, Peace and Security” Agenda and many other priority topics for the youth sector.

A community of hundreds of youth workers and youth policy makers will animate an event that wants to reduce the side effects that a disintegration of physical connections might bring to young people. The current pandemic crisis is, in fact, challenging the traditional spaces for dialogue and is accelerating the process of shrinking space for civil society.

Participants can choose among different levels of engagement and can interact with youth-led organisations, governmental bodies, international umbrella networks and intergovernmental institutions.

Connect, learn and shape the global youth agenda together!
