Setting up national working groups in each participating country.

Profile of the members of National Working Groups:

• Erasmus+ youth NA staff

• researchers who are involved in studies on municipal level youth work
• representatives of networks, umbrella organizations dealing with municipal level youth work

Tasks of the National Working Groups:

• contribute to the mapping exercise
• send participants to the conferences of the project
• disseminate the project outcomes at the national level
• act as multipliers regarding the project
• define, plan, realize national activities
• link international and national level developments, projects
• contribute to realizing the planned outcomes and outputs of the projects including the recommendations on municipal level youth work and policy

Possible aims of the project at the national level

• Bringing NAs closer to the local level;
• Introducing the international/European element (international youth work) to municipal level youth work;
• Getting to know the needs of local youth work, youth workers better;
• Networking: Building links between stakeholders within the municipal level and between the national and municipal level as well (youth workers, decision makers and staff members of municipalities). Links between municipalities can be established as well;
• Common aims: learning from and inspire each other;
• Sensitizing those youth workers by the project who are not active on Eruopean level yet – once being part they will be much more motivated.
