Youth for Exchange and Understanding Cyprus

YEU Cyprus is a non-profit organization that works in the field of youth work for over 20 years. It is dedicated to advocating for the rights of young individuals, nurturing their potential to emerge as influential contributors to society. Through dynamic initiatives, activities, and projects, we aspire to create a world where young people are equipped, inspired, and connected to shape positive change, not only locally but on a global scale. YEU Cyprus is dedicated to creating meaningful experiences and implementing impactful youth-oriented projects, at a local and transnational level, specializing in a range of activities, including organizing and facilitating workshops, conducting training courses, and orchestrating dynamic youth exchanges, and conferences. Addressed topics include active citizenship, human rights, arts and culture, sustainability, inclusion, cultural exchange. Through non-formal education and experiential learning we implement creative activities to engage young people in finding a more healthy lifestyle, employment and respond to the issues that youth is facing in our societies and in Europe at large. The organization has great experience in non-formal education, since it is one of the first youth organizations implementing the methodology in Cyprus, and advocates for NFE on a national level, supporting lifelong learning through its actions. The mission of YEU Cyprus is to provide young people with the opportunity to become social actors on a local and global level through a participatory and inclusive course of action. It focuses on establishing synergies to further raise awareness on important societal issues, advocate for youth rights through a bottom-up approach and offer educational opportunities through non formal education and experiential learning. YEU Cyprus is a full member of the Cyprus Youth Council. It is also a member of the YEU International platform which is under the European Youth Forum umbrella and the Anna Lindh Foundation.
