3EforYouth

With over 25 years’ experience, ADICE is working to gain recognition for its actions in order to become a key player in the youth field. Through its actions, the association has enabled more than 2,500 people to go on a mobility project in Europe and around the world. ADICE is convinced, and its studies on the impact on young people confirm this, that giving young people these opportunities fosters the development of social, professional and intercultural skills.

In addition, in order to be able to propose and develop ever more innovative actions, ADICE is also involved in the development of international cooperation projects (Interreg programme or Erasmus+ cooperation partnership projects). These initiatives enable the ADICE to develop numerous tools and methods to guarantee quality support for young people and professionals alike, in order to encourage the design and development of appropriate and relevant international actions.

Over the years, ADICE has built up a large network of European and international partners which is growing every day. With a view to perpetuating these partnerships and in line with its Europeanisation strategy, ADICE has given concrete expression to its ambitions through a European youth network.

Presentation of the network

As part of a 3-year work plan, the association is therefore going to make the most of these shared professional experiences through the “3EforYouth” network, which will enable ADICE to change scale and enable all the members of the network to multiply the impact of its actions tenfold.  The 3EforYouth network thus works to provide support to young people, youth professionals and all stakeholders in the sector wishing to develop Europe-wide initiatives to raise the voice and strengthen the commitment of young people in Europe.

In order to have the desired impact, ADICE has selected 15 long-standing European partners with whom it has already collaborated in the past, whether through mobility or other international cooperation projects. The network has been designed to cover a large area of the EU in order to be able to consider a wide range of socio-economic and cultural contexts. This will also enable the network to promote and implement its activities on an international scale in order to have a European impact.

ADICE will be working with its informal network of 16 partner organisations from the youth sector based in 15 European countries. They host volunteers from the European Solidarity Corps, vocational training trainees (Erasmus+ VET) and entrepreneurs under the Erasmus+ programme for young entrepreneurs. They also host participants in civic service volunteering activities or are partners in strategic partnership projects, humanitarian volunteer deployment or capacity-building projects.
