Youth Impact+

31/05/2021–30/07/2023

This Erasmus+ project under the KA205 – Strategic Partnerships for Youth action aims to strengthen and support the mandate of the EU Youth Coordinator through an innovative tool within the Youth Impact digital platform that will increase transnational cooperation between youth organisations, foster collaboration in  “sister projects” as well as engagement and sharing of lessons learned. The YI digital tool will be an interactive, user-driven tool that will enable youth workers and youth project coordinators to quantify the political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental impacts of EU-funded projects and programmes.  EDUcentrum’s role is to be one of the partners in this project, which otherwise involves a total of seven partner organisations from six European countries.
