What is a study session?

A study session is a youth seminar developed by the Youth Department of the Council of Europe in order to bring together members of youth organizations, networks and experts to exchange and build new knowledge on a specific field. Study sessions take place at a European Youth Centre in Budapest, Hungary or in Strassburg, France.
 

About this study session: 

With this study session, NOW along with our ten partners from eight European countries, hopes to develop a toolkit of interdisciplinary practices for inclusion of young migrants and refugees in Europe.
