You in Europe was founded in 2012 by Gregory Kyriakou, Vasilis Stoulos, Stavroula Pagona and Ioanna Thomopoulou (all of them having quite important previous experience on Youth in Action Program) in order to encourage the mobility of their local society and offer more opportunities in the field of life long learning. We have a great number of volunteers who support our activities, mostly youngsters. Our sources of funding are for our own resources, contibutions of our members, donations from indivinduals or institutions, sponsorships etc. Our main partners are international or national Ngos and bodies that share the same philosophy and goals. So far we have realised mostly activities for youngsters (Youth exchanges, training courses, EVS) and initiations for engouraging volunteerism and for the support of local society, but in our future plans we intent to emphasize also on adults and life long learning programs for all ages.
“You in Europe” is a NGO based in Greece. In the first place… Because, “You in Europe” is a space for everyone who loves living through learning… and vice versa. In fact, “You in Europe” is the formalization of the idea that each of us has the opportunity to involve in the society in a prosperous way, and foster social cohesion through personal development. And how we do that? By developing programs and actions that motivate young people and adults to involve in learning activities, support people with special needs in gaining access to education and integrate better in the society, and help volunteers to gain knowledge, help the community and obtain new skills.
Youth Exchanges, Training Courses and Voluntary Services for youngsters Cultural Events and initiatives for the support of local society Adult Education programs for adult practical learning and professional education through Erasmus+ Program
During these years that we have been involved in the non formal education programs like training courses, youth exchanges etc, we have gained great experience and important knowledge, that we consider it would be really important to share with other bodies and people who have the same interests with us and share the same objectives. We believe that ideas is important to be shared and discussed, and knowledge is nothing if you can not transmit it. So we are ready to bring our enthousiasm, ideas, opinions, good practices and in order to promote mutual understanding and social cohesion in Greece, Mediterannean and consquently Europe.
We have a great network of partners for the european countries and have already understood the importance of participating in a national network in order to achieve more in common in a national level. Especially in Greece where the economical crisis contribited to the augmentation of critical problems like unemployment, xenophobia, limitation of opportunities and marginalisation of the poor, we believe that is our obligation to stand united against all these phenomena and implement actions that will promote solidarity, social awareness and active citizenship.
