The YOUTH programme is one of the European Union programmes
targeting young people aged between 15 and 25. This Programme enables the
participants the realization of their ideas, participation in projects both
in Poland and abroad, as well as gathering new experiences and learning new
skills. This Programme addresses especially young people with less opportunities.
The Programme offers financial support for the projects, help in making international
contacts, training courses for youth workers, youth leaders, the representatives
of non-governmental organizations etc.
In Poland the Programme is coordinated by the Polish YOUTH National Agency
which operates through a net of Regional centers and Resource centers.
The
Programme comprises five actions:
Action 1 - Youth for Europe
- international youth group exchanges;
Action 2 -
The European Voluntary Service - individual voluntary work abroad.
Action 3 -
Youth Initiatives - projects organized by youth groups at local level.
Action 4 - Joint Actions - projects which combine the Socrates, Leonardo da
Vinci and
YOUTH programmes.
Action 5 -
Support Measures - actions that support the other four Actions of the Programme
Since 2002 the One World association is a Regional center of the Polish
YOUTH National Agency .
As a Regional center, we are organizing:
 meetings
during which introductory information about the YOUTH programme is
presented,
individual consultations,
training courses about the YOUTH programme,
giving
out information materials.
We are paying particular attention to involving into the projects young people
with less opportunities. This applies especially to the European Voluntary Service
projects and to the international exchanges.
We
wish to invite:
non-governmental
organizations, institutions, schools and other organizations working with or
