The first-ever thematic seminar organised by the RAY network took place from June 11 to 13 in Bratislava, gathering participants from across Europe – including youth organisations, researchers and National Agencies.
The focus was on how to use data and research to shape and implement youth programmes like Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps. We talked about making programmes that truly reflect young people’s needs, and how important it is to build strategies based on facts, not assumptions. It was a meaningful space to share, connect, and think critically about the direction of youth work in Europe.
Thanks to the RAY network for making this space possible, and special thanks to the Tempus Foundation for recommending us for this opportunity.
