Stepping into 2020 with Eurodesk!
 

Eurodesk is starting the year 2020 in full speed! Why? Well, we are always eager to run initiatives to make access to quality youth information on European opportunities a reality for all young people in Europe; but this is a special year as we are celebrating our 30th anniversary! 30 years, inspiring young people to fulfil their potential.

This important year will see the launch of the revamped European Youth Portal and of two new publications on the Youth Information Worker and Youth Work occupations in the context of the ESCO review and on Greening youth information services, both produced with our main partners. We will continue to improve our online and face-face presence, for instance through new additions to our successful Time to Move campaign.

Finally, we are planning campaign celebrations around the 30th Anniversary to have moments to celebrate with young people, youth workers, partners and decision-makers because nothing would be possible without you!

Happy and youth-full year 2020 to you all!
