EURODESK NEWS

 

One year after the start of the war: Eurodesk calls for peace! 

 

A year after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Eurodesk still stands by its position: war is never acceptable, for any reason, in any circumstances. As a European youth information service, Eurodesk has always seen peace as a pillar of European values. Every day, we promote international solidarity and collaboration to overcome any kinds of division and discrimination that exists in our society. We inform youngsters about the importance of mobility, learning new cultures and getting in touch with different people, to understand how diversity is a resource and not an issue. But this cannot happen in a world where war is still considered an option.

NATIONAL EURODESK HIGHLIGHT

 

Eurodesk Germany: how to make mobility more inclusive

 

Eurodesk Germany has developed a cooperation with the Bezev organisation, committed to a just, social and sustainable world in which everyone has the same opportunities for development and participation. Together they will counsel young people with impairments or disabilities on how to experience a mobility programme abroad: volunteering, studying or doing a traineeship in another country. With their partnership they will also aim to make mobility information products inclusive. For example, Eurodesk Germany made improvements on their website “Rausvonzuhaus” to make it more accessible/barrier-free. They also produced an inclusive film showcasing a young girl that volunteered in 2018. She acts as a role model and can encourage other young people with disabilities to take the chance to go abroad.
