“Green Eurodesk” in light of the 30th anniversary

 
Eurodesk organises over 10.000 events, 3.500 training courses and produces over 600.000 publications per year. We asked ourself, what’s our carbon footprint? It might be hard to measure for the whole network, but it is clearly significant, and we can definitely reduce it collectively by taking measures to be greener.

Eurodesk and ERYICA, the European Youth Information and Counselling Agency, decided to take their responsibilities and release a joint publication on Greening of youth information services on the World Environment Day, 5th June.

We are currently looking for a young creative person to design illustrations for this publication, the call is open until the 6th of March.

The EU Youth Strategy emphasises the need for solid monitoring mechanisms both on the situation of young people and on the implementation of youth policies at EU and national level. In this context, the Expert group on EU youth indicators was established to review the current dashboard of EU indicators in the youth field. Eurodesk will take part in the third meeting of the expert group on 5-6 March. On the agenda: finalising the proposal for a revised youth indicator dashboard!
