After launching the petition Save the EVS we realize that only few Youth Organisations are active at policy level. Even if we train young people to be active in their community we are often passive when it comes at defending the quality of youth policies and international mobility. This is not a problem if policy makers take good choices but can be dramatic if they don’t. And this could happen after the next European Elections, it’s important to start to organize ourselves now. This is probably related with the “conflict of interest” as we receive money from EU and/or public funds. But we also realized that being active requires a big effort and often doesn’t give tangible results.

So we decided to create a space to make it easier and hopefully more fruitful to be active. This website is made to have all the elements that we need to be heard: policy analysis, interviews with policy makers and the space to launch a petition. Furthermore we need visibility and we need organisations to use it. For this reason we will post here grant opportunities, good practices and project results. The final goal is to become a benchmark in the international mobility and youth policy field so that our opinion won’t be ignored.
