Lobbying For Youth Work: Kortrijk 2022

Around 20 youth ambassadors came to the third module of Lobbying For Youth Work in Kortrijk (Belgium) from the 6th of June until the 9th of June 2022.

The participants were from from Belgium, Croatia, Germany, France, and Letland. They improved their lobby skills to advocate for strong local youth (work) policies in their own local context. During these four days, they received input from experts and exchanged about each other’s realities.

The next modules of Lobbying For Youth Work will take place in Letland in September, and in France in Spring.
