As a branch of the international network Youth Senate International, we believe that the educated,
employed, and engaged young people possess the power to solve the Europe’s most pressing problems.
For 12 years, we have led and sustained coordinated action to harness the talent and potential of
young people. At the heart of our efforts is building partnerships, initiatives, and curricula that prepare
the young adults to succeed as citizens, employees, entrepreneurs and be change-makers. As well as
facilitate their participation in democratic life.
The core values of our network is making people to believe in better, consider all perspectives equally
and honestly, and create changes that matter. We have driven positive youth development around
Europe.
Through our experience and partnerships, we continue to enrich the global understanding of how to
connect young people with hope, jobs, and a brighter future. Anchored by our mission, we are constantly
deepening our research and bridging new partnerships to innovate and provide scalable, sustainable
solutions for the most challenging problems young people face.
Our mission unites us: together we ensure that young people, especially the marginalized youth,
find the guidance and training to lead productive lives. This collaboration remains central to our success.
We have been participating and organizing youth projects funded by the Youth in Action programme and
Erasmus+ programme in the period 2009-2021. Our goal is raising the European awareness, promoting
non-formal education, digital education, social inclusion, cultural differences and intercultural learning,
tumbling economic barriers and entrepreneurship, greener environment, dealing with social barriers and
self-development of young people.

In order to reach our goals, we organize activities within the scope of employment and combating
social marginalization and exclusion of the youth as well as, tasks connected with education and bringing
up.
Youth Senate is an organisation that works for active citizenship and ethics in lifelong learning,
solidarity and tolerance, mutual understanding between the youth from different areas and countries with
the goal to create a brighter future.
