Andriy Pavlovych, expert
Andrij joined SALTO EECA back in 2004, which makes him — by his own admission — the oldest "dinosaur" in the team, still roaming enthusiastically through the landscapes of partnership building, capacity development, and youth policy with a particular focus on the Neighbourhood East countries. Andriy firmly believes that, despite difficult times, the Eastern Dimension of European youth work will grow strong again — and that Europe, in its wider geopolitical sense, will never give up!
