Welcome to the Y.E.S. Forum
Founded in 2002, the Youth and European Social Work Forum (or The Y.E.S. Forum) is a network of organisations across countries in the EU. It is bound together by a commitment to social inclusion and active participation of children and young people who experience disadvantage and exclusion.
The Y.E.S. Forum regards young people as a positive driving force in the process of shaping Europe. Participation of young people with fewer opportunities and their direct involvement in network activities has been a key priority in the Y.E.S. Forum since its foundation.
That is why the Y.E.S. Forum encourages, through a long-term perspective, sustainable strategies for the creation of participation opportunities and the promotion of an active citizenship of young people in Europe.
The Y.E.S. Forum (EEIG) and its activities are supported by the European Commission, DG Education and Culture.
