activity plan or figuring out what you want to do next in your local!

There is one common objective for all the working groups:

Organise one conference or training event on the field of expertise of the
Working Group.

Our specific objectives are:


   - Raise awareness on mental health issues affecting young people, by
   empowering locals to organise 25 related activities.
   -  Support locals in organising 50 activities related to the physical
   health of young people. Activities related to physical health involve at
   least one of the following: Practicing Sports or Fitness - Workshops on
   Healthy Habits and a Healthy Lifestyle.
   - Support locals in organising 3 European events, except RTCs and
   European Schools, having at least 4 tuition hours per day on skills.

   - On the 5th of September, the European Economic and Social Committee
   (EESC) celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Eastern Partnership
   Initiative. Despite celebrating success stories, members agreed that more
   needs to be done in order to reach acceptable standards in terms of
   democratization. Read more about the Eastern Partnership Initiative and its
   anniversary here

   on Culture and Education, presented the newly approved EU Youth Strategy
   (EUYS) which emphasizes the need for equal education opportunities for
