Network, ongoing since 2021
Submitted by / EUSDR Priority Area(s): PA 10 Institutional Capacity & Cooperation
The Danube Youth Network originated from the concept outlined in two initiatives: the pilot project “Danube Youth Participation 2019-2021” and “Danube Youth EUSDR Participation” (2021-2022). These projects were carried out by the EUSDR Civil Society Network in collaboration with five partnering NGOs located in Baden-Württemberg, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, and Serbia. The lead partner, the Liebenau Foundation, brings 150 years of expertise in social policies and projects.
Objectives
The Danube Youth Network aims at forming a transnational, trans-sectorial, self-organised youth network in the Danube Region for participation, creativity and responsibility. The initiative is about strengthening young people’s skills for participation and co-creation to address issues in an open space.
Need and (expected) impact

Enhancing the capacity to engage young individuals is a pivotal element for the future success of the Strategy.
