Youth@Work Bridges Youth Work and Volunteering Flagship Conference
The Youth@Work Bridging Conference aims to be a big meeting point for all the passionate professionals that believe that youth work and volunteering create opportunities for the personal and professional development of young people.
This conference is organised by the Youth@Work Partnership. It will be the flagship event of the partnership in 2022 and it has 4 main goals:
- showcasing the work and results of the first cycle of Youth@Work (2018-2021);
- demonstrating the added value of youth work and volunteering to youth employability/entrepreneurship;
- highlighting volunteering as a bridge between young people and employment/entrepreneurship
- promoting the new Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps EU Programmes (2021 – 2027) and fostering the development of new projects to be supported by these Programmes.
The Youth@Work Bridging Conference will be an important moment for networking – a constant element during the whole event. The conference aims to be a big meeting point for all the passionate professionals that believe that youth work and volunteering create opportunities for the personal and professional development of young people. Following the core values of the Youth@Work Partnership, the event will bring together representatives of the three main sectors that make our society grow: business, public and third sectors. Volunteering will be in the limelight of the conference, especially its contribution to the personal and professional development of young people.
