ABOUT THE PROJECT
This activity is organised in the framework of the European cooperation project YES! GAM-EU: Youth Engagement Strategies and Gamification in the EU, a long term project develop in partnership with 5 organisations (YEU International, DYPALL Network, Sauga ANK, Active Bulgarian Society, La Fenice).

The web platform also allows young people to earn badges and reach goals, bringing them closer to the European Institutions through meetings and events, held in the five different partner countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Italy, Estonia, Portugal).
ORGANISERS
DYPALL Network is a European platform of over 60 civil society organisations and local authorities from more than 30 countries, that aims to involve young people in decision-making processes at local level, and thus enable municipal and regional authorities to address the needs and interests of youth, engage young people as active actors of problem-solving and increase the level of ownership, commitment and involvement of an important part of our communities (more information in www.dypall.com).
Youth for Exchange and Understanding (YEU) is an international Non-Governmental Youth organization established in 1986 in Strasbourg by a group of 120 young people from 11 different countries. YEU aims at increasing tolerance and awareness between different countries, cultures and traditions, and promoting a greater level of comprehension through the development of youth activities. The main aim of YEU is to promote peace, understanding, and co-operation between the young people of the world, in a spirit of respect for human rights.
