Network for Positive Change
1. About us TDM 2000 International is a vibrant and passionate non-
governmental,
non-partisan,
non-profit,
independent
organization
committed to foster cooperation across Europe through the establishment of a vivid network of youth organizations. Founded in 2008 by a group of young people with extensive international experience in youth work, it was initially the realization of a dream that in the meantime has significantly flourished and now embraces organizations from 18 different countries. Within our ranks we count with a team of highly qualified collaborators, with broad experience devising and implementing different educational projects throughout Europe and other overseas territories. Indeed, our network is set up by volunteers and professionals with remarkable expertise in fields such as training and coaching, project management, intercultural communication, fundraising and advocacy, lobbying or policy-making.
2. Vision A world characterized by higher levels of social cohesion, respect for Human Rights, intercultural understanding, cross-borders cooperation, youth empowerment, participation and employability.

3. Mission Statement TDM 2000 International commits to establishing an effective network of cooperation between youth organizations through which we shall develop concerted strategies to approach common issues that affect youth, thus becoming a main promoter of the empowerment of young people, youth associations and their communities as a whole.
4. Main goals Challenge the paradigms of ethnocentric education systems and promote a more inclusive learning process that integrates contents non conformant to the dominant culture, thus fostering the development of a bigger respect for cultural diversity; Advocate for a world where peace, intercultural understanding, pluralism, non-discrimination, justice, equal opportunities and solidarity prevail; Create and provide tools and opportunities which may allow youngsters to enhance their personal and professional development, fostering consciousness in individual capabilities and developing competences increasingly required by the labour market, thus striving to achieve higher rates of youth employment; Encourage young people to research and thus realize the importance of their civil engagement and foster the acknowledgement of their prospective role as main actors of social change, therefore promoting a process of empowerment that shall lead to a more active participation of youth in the life and the decision-making processes of their communities; Promote strong synergies of cooperation between the public sector, the private sector and civil society through capacity-building, lobbying and advocacy processes in order to ensure socially responsible management and that young people take part in policymaking; Build a structure of support to youth organizations that stimulates international cooperation for development through sustained

transfer of knowledge and exchange of best practices whilst facilitating reflection and debate at a transnational level.
5. Strategy TDM 2000 International is based on the same values and ideals that led us to its creation in 2008 and thus maintains the compromise of striving for the empowerment of young people, youth associations and their communities as a whole. This does not mean that our network forgot to adapt to the rapidly changing context that surrounds us. Indeed, we are undertaking considerable adaptations of our structure so as to more efficiently serve the aims we were set upon. For the near future we envisage a sustained growth both in the quality and in the impact of our actions. This invigorated strategy embraces a strong focus on the delivery of initiatives, mechanisms and contents that may, on the one hand, enhance the engagement of both youth and CSOs, while on the other hand, it may also allow a greater sharing and dissemination of the outcomes of our work.

Furthermore, we plan to increase the number of initiatives and projects put forth by our organization, thus improving the access of young people to different opportunities for learning, participating and taking action.
6. Activities In the framework of the goals for which it was created, TDM 2000 International, coordinates, directly implements, supports and divulges activities and projects designed either by our staff or by our affiliates. So far it has developed projects and activities of the likes of training courses and study sessions, different sorts of encounters and workshops, awareness-raising campaigns and lobbying meetings, inquiries and polls, voluntary service projects, partnership building activities and contact making seminars, electronic and hard cover publications, youth exchanges and seminars, or other multi-measure projects with diverse types of social intervention for development.
