Municipal youth work

Europea Goes Local (EGL) is a strategic partnership to support municipal level youth work and international youth cooperation between municipal partners. The core aim of the project is to raise the quality of local youth work in particular through enhanced cooperation between various stakeholders that are active at the municipal level. The Partnership currently involves about 200 members who represent around 120 municipalities in the participating countries.

SALTO EECA with their Info Centres support municipalities from the Eastern Partner countries to develop their local youth policies and benefit from the Europe Goes Local opportunities.
