We’re so excited to be presenting Care2Care-Our Voice at the UN Economic and Social Council’s Youth Forum! Read all about it and join us live online!
We are delighted to announce that the Parents’ House Public Benefit Foundation has been given the wonderful opportunity to organise a side event in conjunction with the UN Economic and Social Council Youth Forum. We’re so excited to announce the launch of our Erasmus+ project, ‘Our Voice’, together with the consortium!
The Side event will showcase some great examples of youth volunteering and youth exchanges at international and EU level. We’ll be sharing our experiences and ideas, and we’d love to promote the development of similar programmes based on international cooperation and partnership, including at global level, within the UN.
The side event will be 70 minutes long, consisting of a plenary session and a panel discussion involving young people. The language of the event is English, with no simultaneous interpretation.
We’re going to run the event online, so you can take part in real time!
It’s happening on 25 April 2023 from 13:30 – 14:40 (CET) and 7:30 – 8:40 (EDT).
You can register here: https://forms.gle/pneabfkr2d1AT9H78.
