Instituto Euroafricano de Juventud

Instituto Euroafricano de Juventud is a non-governmental organization that was created in 2011 in Melilla, a Spanish city in North Africa. We have legal recognition of the Spanish government and the government of Melilla. Our asociation grew out of a project of the “Youth in Action”, called “Youth Parliament: A Partnership for Participation” and involving 17 youth associations in Spain, Portugal, Italy and Romania… with the aim of promoting youth participation, education, multiculturalism, European sentiment and development opportunities of Melilla. Our main asset is our members and our experience. Institute partners have participated in 3 youth exchanges, 2 training courses… and we have organized directly 4 projects in Melilla. We have brought to Melilla 50 people from Portugal, Italy, Romania and various regions of Spain to our projects. The Spanish National Agency Youth in Action program gave us an award for making the best youth project in Spain in 2010. At present we are preparing another project: www.BarriodelasArtes.es
