About us

ECYN is a European network of Children and Youth Foundations, educational and philanthropic in nature, whose goals are to build a strong, positive and sustainable future for children and youth in Europe, and elsewhere in the world .
Having extensive experience dealing with Children and Youth, the partners from ECYN have already developed various projects in different areas, namely: Civic Education; Youth Participation; Youth Information; Voluntary Service; Youth Employment; International and Inter-Ethnic Cooperation; Non-formal Education, etc.
Based on the idea that throughout all our partners there are effective programs and approaches making a profound and lasting difference in young people’s lives, our mission with this project is to identify programs “that work”, in order to strengthen their impact and expand their reach so that many more young people benefit from them.
ECYN support their members with the means to share experience betweens themselves and staff from similar organizations, between its Foundations and the Young People, who are always our target, is the best way to develop and implement international co-operation; train people that work directly with the youth and the young people themselves in order for all of them to improve the quality and the range of theirs services and to spread the information that makes a positive and lasting difference in young people’s lives.
