Next Generation Europe

forthcoming

"Next Generation Europe is an informal transnational network of 19 youth organisations from 16 Erasmus+ Programme Countries, coordinated by Youth Council Next Generation Skopje. This initiative addresses deep-rooted disparities in access to youth opportunities across Europe by strengthening operational capacity, improving outreach in marginalised areas, and promoting inclusive participation in EU youth programmes. The network will support underfunded youth organisations, particularly in Eastern and Southern Europe, by hiring 10 youth workers, implementing 34 Erasmus+ Info Days, launching a multilingual digital platform, and delivering youth-led podcasts, webinars, and policy roundtables. Key activities include monthly online workshops, two international youth conferences, and the co-creation of three national policy briefs. Right now, we’re already sparking change through our Instagram community @erasmusplusgeneration with nearly 7,000 engaged young people. With this project, we aim to multiply that impact—scaling our content, our reach, and most importantly, our influence and promote European Values. With a focus on the EU Youth Goals (especially Goals #1, #3, #4, #6, #9, and #11), the project aims to reach 25,000 digital users, engage 3,400 young people in outreach events, and produce 60+ digital outputs. Through this framework partnership (2026–2027), Next Generation Europe transforms EU youth policy into meaningful, measurable action—empowering underserved youth and building long-term structures for inclusion, engagement, and digital transformation across the continent."
