The Youth Cooperation Programme of the North-South Centre provides training and capacity building for young people and youth organisations and facilitates their participation in decision making.

The Programme is developed in close cooperation with various youth led and youth serving organisations, with the Youth Department of the Council of Europe, the European Commission and the European Union-Council of Europe youth partnership and with other relevant institutions working in the youth field.

For the period 2020-2021 most of the activities of the youth programme will be organized in the framework of the Global Youth Project.
