5303 young people took part in EYF supported projects.

13 activities took place in Italy in 2014, 1 pilot activity and 12 international activities.

A pilot activity is an “intervention”, i.e. an activity addressing a contextual societal challenge affecting young people at local level. It should be based on innovation or on replication of best practices for example.

“We want to thank EYF for the flexibility regarding the grant procedure and the chance to develop our project idea. The EYF feedback to focus more on the participatory aspects led to a very fruitful project.”

EYF supported activity

International activity is a meeting of young people or youth leaders in Europe, which contribute to the work of the youth sector of the Council of Europe.

“Gender Human Rights in Sardinia” training course discussed human rights, gender rights, non-formal education and equality issues.  It aimed to promote gender equality o, Sardinia through active participation.

The “Gender and Equality: and introduction toward the action” seminar on the theme of gender identity and equality was aimed at young people active in the NGOs network of organisations, interested in becoming engaged in the field. It was an awareness raising activity, since the issue had rarely been addressed in the NGOs before.
