Study sessions
Study sessions are international youth events lasting between 4 and 8 days which bring together members of youth organisations or networks and experts for discussions on a specific subject leading to conclusions relevant to the priorities and programmes of the Council of Europe Youth sector. They are organised in co-operation with youth organisations and networks, and are hosted by one of the European Youth Centres.
The programme is based on applications submitted twice a year and decided upon by the Programming Committee on Youth. Please note that every year, the deadline to apply is 15th April for the study sessions taking place the 1st Semester of the following year, and 15th October for the study sessions taking place the 2nd Semester of the following year.
These activities are totally or partly financed by the Council of Europe according to modalities available at the Secretariat.
Study sessions focus on human rights education.
