A “Letter of Intent” on cooperation between the Secretariat of the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe (EPA), Eurail and the European Youth Card Association (EYCA) was signed by the Director General of Democracy Mrs. Snežana SAMARDŽIĆ-MARKOVIĆ, on behalf of the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Eurail General Manager Mr. Carlo BOSELLI and EYCA Director Mr. Manel SÁNCHEZ, which entered into force on 19 August 2020.
The aim is to promote sustainable mobility across Europe, support the discovery of the rich and diverse heritage of Europe, foster the creation of a strong community of young travelers who support cultural diversity, intercultural learning, and mutual exchanges across borders.
This is an important step to promote Youth Mobility and the activities and projects that will come from this Letter of Intent will also benefit the Member States that are part of the Partial Agreement on Youth Mobility trough the European Youth Card, particularly in the light of the fact that the Board of Co-ordination of the PA on Youth Mobility was operational in fostering contacts and ideas for this promising partnership.
The Project Routes 4U and the special edition of the European Youth Card together with the Cultural Routes PA are the most visible actions that will continue to involve thousands of young people all over and beyond Europe.
