A Network that never stops In DYPALL Network we believe and we are aware of the unique input that each one of the members brings to our joint work. Together, we aim at involving young people in decision-making processes at local level, and thus enabling municipal and regional authorities to address the needs and interests of youth, to engage young people as active actors of problem-solving and to increase their level of ownership, commitment and involvement. This ambitious work does not stop even during these difficult times. On the contrary, each member has activated their skills and expertise to support civil society and public authorities, and to bring knowledge, experiences and relief where needed. Every Friday we will explore some of the innovative ideas that the Network members have put into practice to overcome this moment, so that they could serve as inspiration to develop even more! If you are interested in reproducing an initiative, you can contact us, or the organization and/or municipality directly involved.
