We are super excited to be part of the "Peers for Equality - Creative Learning Platform" Erasmus+ KA2 strategic partnership project!

Back in October 2020 we launched #TrainerThursdays to highlight the journeys of EPTO trainers from across Europe. This week we featured our manager Cathy Del Rizzo! We took a couple of inspiring quotes for our social media posts but her answers were too good not to share in full! So, this #TrainerThursday we bring you Senior EPTO Trainer, Cathy!

Q1. Can you please share with us your name, where you are from, where you are living at the moment and what you do (work and passions)?

As we head into the new year, our International Projects Coordinator, Dorothea Elek, reflects on the impact of the pandemic on the youth and NGO sector, what it means for EPTO and thoughts about the future:

Inter Alia, along with a partnership of over 100 civil society organisations and networks across Europe, is carrying out a pan-European campaign “Life beyond EU Funding: Imagining a Different Role for Youth Organisations in Europe”. 

EPTO has joined this campaign and we invite our members and partners to join too!

Generation Echo / Asociacija "Aidinti karta", based in Lithuania, focuses on work with disadvantaged youth, organizing leisure time activities, trainings and workshops for professional and personal growth.

“Generation Echo” has over 7 years experience with working with young people. Members have been involved in youth camps and international projects focusing on discrimination, ecology, social media and digital marketing skills, mentorship, entrepreneurship, etc.
