Become a Young European Ambassador! #YEA
The ‘Young European Ambassadors' (YEAs) is an initiative launched within the framework of the EU OPEN Neighbourhood Programme (EU Neighbours East). It will take place in the six countries of the EU Eastern Partnership (EaP) from September 2016 onward. The YEA network will connect at least 100 young people from all over Europe!
The network consists of people aged 15-25 from the EaP countries and from the EU. They will have the opportunity to regularly exchange information and views on Europe (culture, values, current issues,...) as well as to engage in dialogue-driven activities and events in the EaP countries and/or the EU.
They will be guided and supported by two Network Coordinators who will regularly travel in Europe. Easy communication platforms will be put in place to facilitate exchanges, regular Young European Ambassadors missions will be prepared, contests will be organised, and more! English will be the main language of use for the YEAs, but knowledge of local languages will be an asset.
This form requires you to provide contact details, CV details and to submit a cover letter of max. 300 words.
We wish you good luck, and we are looking forward to welcoming you as part of the #YEA network!
