SALTO South East Europe Resource Centre
SALTO-YOUTH stands for Support, Advanced Learning and Training Opportunities within the Erasmus+: Youth in Action programme, the EU programme for education, training, youth and sport. What is the history and scope of this network of SALTO-YOUTH Resource Centres?
Established in 2000, SALTO-YOUTH is a network of eight Resource Centres working on European priority areas within the youth field. As part of the European Commission's Training Strategy, SALTO-YOUTH provides non-formal learning resources for youth workers and youth leaders and organises training and contact-making activities to support organisations and National Agencies within the frame of the European Commission's Erasmus+ :Youth in Action programme and beyond.
SALTO SEE promotes and offers support for cooperation in the youth field between Erasmus+ Programme Countries and the Western Balkans.
The Erasmus+: Youth in Action programme contributes to promoting stability in the region of the Western Balkans by supporting the development of youth work and promoting the multicultural awareness, tolerance and solidarity among young people. It thus contributes to the other efforts of the European Union's enlargement policy stating the perspective of Western Balkan countries joining the Union in the future.
In particular, the Programme supports the building of long-lasting partnerships and the exchange of youth work practice between groups of young people, youth organisations, youth workers, youth leaders and other actors in the field of youth and non-formal education, from different countries in Europe.
The SALTO-YOUTH South East Europe Resource Centre promotes the participation of young people and other actors in the field of youth and non-formal education from the Programme's Partner countries in the Western Balkans in the Erasmus+: Youth in Action programme. It acts as a support service for:
- the network of Erasmus+: Youth in Action National Agencies in the field of co-operation with this region and
- youth organisations, youth leaders, youth workers and other actors in the field who are interested in developing co-operation between Programme countries and Neighbouring Partner Countries in teh Western Balkan region.
Within the framework of European integration of the Western Balkan region, SALTO SEE actively supports the process of accession of all countries of the region to the Erasmus+: Youth in Action programme.
