The 5th European EGL Event

Aims & objectives

The 5th European EGL Event brought together 170 participants and it followed the tradition of the first three conferences, when national working group members, European, national and local key stakeholders met to discuss crucial issues of local youth work and to brainstorm about how the Europe Goes Local network could contribute to develop quality and create bridges between different actors for the benefit of youth work and young people.

Similarly to the first conference, the 5th EGL event in Stockholm focused on strengthening national cooperation, emphasizing the role of national and local stakeholders in developing local youth work, using European tools, policies and frameworks.

The conference was also an occasion to showcase good practices.
