On 11-12 March 2026, the European Youth Foundation (EYF), in co-operation with the European Youth Forum, is organising an in-person learning and networking days with international youth organisations in Brussels, Belgium. This meeting will focus both on reinforcing the partnership with the youth sector of the Council of Europe and provide opportunities for youth organisations.
The learning and networking days will have the following objectives:
- Inform youth organisations about essentials and the latest updates of the youth sector, and the grants of the EYF for which international youth organisations can apply in 2026 for international youth activities and long-term projects to be implemented in 2027,
- Reinforce the skills of youth organisations in areas of relevance for the implementation of initiatives and projects supported by the EYF,
- Create a space for mutual learning and networking among youth organisations.
The event will involve up to 30 participants, from different international youth organisations that intend to apply for EYF grants and/or study sessions under the programme of the European Youth Centres of the Council of Europe. The EYF may provide partial travel and subsistence support to those organisations whose headquarters is not based in Brussels, based on needs and available resources. Lunch meals and coffee breaks for all other participants will be covered for the duration of the programme.
During the learning and networking days the EYF secretariat will be available for bilateral consultations with youth organisations upon request.
To pre-register, international youth organisations and networks are invited to fill in the form.
