Using ICTs for Networking Youth Organizations
02-12-2002 ()
An Internet portal for youth organizations, projects and volunteers providing youth related information, facilitating exchange of volunteers in Eastern Europe and strengthening networking is now being developed by Eastlinks, a regional network of voluntary service organizations in Central and Eastern Europe based in Warsaw, Poland, with UNESCO's support.
The portal that is supported by UNESCO within its INFOYOUTH programme, is expected to be online in May 2003.
Eastlinks, created in 1997, is a network of independent NGOs which are active in the field of youth voluntary service. Youth voluntary service includes promotion of the civil society, emergency and humanitarian aid, social aid, rehabilitation, disaster preparedness and conflict prevention.
UNESCO's INFOYOUTH Network was initiated in 1991 by UNESCO in order to meet two main challenges: on the one hand, the necessity to counteract the splintering of various and scattered information sources and networks on youth, and on the other, the urgent need to implement appropriate and coherent youth policies from local to global levels.
