Guest: Caterina Bolognese (the Head of the Gender Equality Division at the Council of Europe) and Anna Lavizzari (a researcher at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, a member of the Pool of European Youth Researchers).

We have organised the “Visible Value – strengthening the implementation of the European Youth Work Agenda in Eastern and Southeast Europe” seminar in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina in November 2022.

The event brought together 60 participants to reflect on the way the youth work sector and community of practice had fared since the 3rd European Youth Work Convention and what structures and mechanisms had been put in place to deliver on the commitments made during the Convention and in the European Youth Work Agenda framework document. It also aimed to strengthen the connection within the triangle of governance (youth research, youth policy and youth work) in the regions.

In this episode of Under30' we are discussing the content and the outcomes of the seminar with our guests: Zara Lavchayan and Dragan Atanasov, rapporteurs of the seminar.

Hosts: Dariusz Grzemny and László Milutinovits

Media and information literacy is crucial for a fully-fledged democracy to work. Young people need to understand how to navigate the web and differentiate between truthful and misleading or false information.

Guests: Evaldas Rupkus and Meelika Hirmo

Hosts: Ismael Páez Civico and Lana Pasic
