Time to Move T-shirt design contest is back! 


Inspire and inform young people about various abroad opportunities: this is the main goal of the Eurodesk's campaign Time to Move. October is going to be a month full of events all spread across Europe, during which we count on reaching and involving a wide young audience.
In the framework of the campaign Eurodesk has launched the Time To Move T-shirt design contest inviting young people from 13 to 30 years old to design a Time to Move themed T-shirt. 

Please have a look above at the 2018 winners: Sindy Colic from Croatia, Camila Cota from Portugal and Giada Famigliola from Italy.

Autumn Eurodesk Network Meeting 
 

 
Twice a year the Eurodesk Network coordinators, coming from all over Europe,  meet to share and gain knowledge on the services of the network and improve ways to disseminate European youth information.
In 2019, the Autumn Network Meeting took place in Bergen, the second largest city of Norway from the 18th to the 21st of September.

The meeting was a very special one as it took place just after a Eurodesk and Salto Participation and Information joint seminar which brought together communication and information professionals with the main goal to develop guidelines/strategies on communicating EU programmes to young people. The outcomes of the joint seminar will also feed the design of the future programmes and contribute to the EU Youth Strategy call for “a more systematic approach to quality youth information, outreach and dissemination.”
