to support the development of working group activities and meetings;
to support initiatives and members’ projects which are in line with the vision of the organisation
to organise, to support the creation of a bursary fund to increase youth’s active participation to GEN Europe events.

Proposed Action Plan for 2018

• Identify and select a range of funds, leverage and fundraising tools that can be implemented, on short and mid-term
