The European Union declared the year 2022, the ‘year of the Youth’ and calls upon the engagement and participation of all young and talented people in the region to help build a better future: stable, green, inclusive and digital.
To create awareness about the EU’s commitment to contribute to a better future for young people across the Southern Neighbourhood and support more robust and enhanced youth engagement, the EU Neighbours South programme is launching a new activity: the EU JEEL CONNECT.
The EU JEEL CONNECT will extend to countries and territories in the Southern Neighbourhood including Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine* and Tunisia.
Becoming a member of the EU JEEL CONNECT network is voluntary and on a goodwill basis. There are no financial implications or expected remunerations related to this membership. Members of the EU Jeel CONNECT network will engage primarily in communication and outreach activities that are non-political, non-profit and non- partisan. The network will include young people from various backgrounds and cultures who will engage in exciting and enriching experiences. The main goal is to connect, share and learn with and from each other. Members will be invited to reach out to the communities and help them better understand the cooperation between the EU and members’ countries by showcasing the tangible results of this collaboration and its importance to young people. So, let’s join forces! Together, we can give young people in your region more and better opportunities for the future.
