As an umbrella organization, we support the growth of our members by creating and providing tools to foster their empowerment, supporting the development of the young people they work with, thus contributing, through concerted strategies, in the development of youth work in Europe. We work with NFE at European level, promoting European Union and its programmes, and working on spreading concepts such as: tolerance, respect, solidarity, intercultural dialogue, active participation and European citizenship, striving for inclusive and sustainable growth.
