Empowering financial independence: the role of non-formal education
Lack of economic independence, high youth unemployment rates, gambling indebtedness.
Is this really the future that lies ahead for the younger segment of the population?
In such a challenging context, what role can youth organizations play to transform these challenges into drivers of innovation and change?
Let’s talk about this together at the FINYOUTH conference.
The meeting will be a time for reflection and discussion on these issues – together with local and international actors – to better understand the dynamics –positive and negative– that shape the social life of young people in Europe.
Join the discussion, present your ideas and propose yourself as an active part of your society!
We look forward to seeing you
