Transnational Meeting ‘Empowering the Informal’

The transnational meeting of the 'Empowering the Informal' project took place on February 12, 13 and 14 in Brussels. During the three days several work sessions were carried out dedicated to the research object of the work package 1, coordinated by the UAB, and in the online platforms that will be generated as a result of the project. The structure of youth exchange activities between centers that should be done within the framework of the project was also discussed. Taking advantage of the stay of the team members in Brussels, the meeting was used to learn more about the Green European Foundation, an entity associated with the project and organizer of the meeting.

"Empowering the informal" is in the direct line of European priorities and objectives to bring positive and lasting effects to organizations associated with systems policy that establish the framework for the creation and management of informal youth groups. Its main objective is to strengthen the link between the public and the associative fields, by placing informal groups as a central actor in the process of building sustainable communities, developing skills and attitudes towards young people.

The project, with the participation of eight organizations (UAB, FITT, Experimentaculo, Green European Foundation, Cacais Municipal Chamber, Subjective Values ​​Foundation, Association for participation, opportunity and development, Timisoara Municipality), is coordinated by Mihai Vilcea (FITT , Romania) and funded by the European Union under the Erasmus program with € 246,284.00.
