Following the successful set up of the National Policy and Practice Networks (NPPNs) by the PROMISE partners in their respective countries, the first European Policy Network (EPN) has now also been established. The EPN meeting, organised by PROMISE partner YES Forum, took place in Brussels on the 4th July 2017. Three members of the PROMISE team Dr. Eckart Mueller-Bachman (CJD Germany), Dr. Zyab Ibañez (Universitat Autònoma Barcelona), and Annett Wiedermann (YES Forum, Germany) -pictured here-, presented the project work and early progress to key European stakeholders, including representatives from the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the European Youth Forum.
National Policy and Practice Network (NPPN) set up by PROMISE partners in each country
At the end of the first year of the PROMISE project partners have forged impressive links with national and local stakeholders working with young people. A National Policy and Practice Network (NPPN) has been set up in each partner country to ensure an exchange of ideas and mutual support for the duration of the PROMISE project and beyond. Most partners have already successfully held their first meeting with practitioners and policy makers in their respective countries, with the rest scheduled to have them in due course.
Parallel to the NPPN’s the European Policy Network (EPN) has also been set up and its first meeting will take place on 4 July in Brussels at the European Youth Forum organised by our partners Yes Forum. Watch this space for updates on this.
PROMISE is funded under the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, Grant Agreement no. 693221.
