Widen Your Outlook – Networking Session at EYC

This event was a part of the programme of the European Youth Conference in Gdańsk hosted with Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung office in Warsaw.

Context

To face today’s challenges, it is crucial that grassroots movements and activists connect with each other and collaborate to strengthen their impact. This session reflected the needs of youth leaders to expand their network and identify resources which the other organisations/ participants present at the event can offer them.

Workshop

Throughout this interactive session, participants discovered other participants and their organisations/areas of interest. After a first general round to identify what each participant wants to get out of the event, we split in groups based on our areas of interest to further explore how we can reinforce each other’s work. We finished the session with a chance for participants to exchange contacts and/or plan an informal follow-up after the session to discuss further.

The workshop was moderated by Ioana Banach (Programme Manager at the Green European Foundation) and Carlotta Weber (Project Coordinator at the Green European Foundation).
