Interreg Volunteer Youth - IVY

Interreg Volunteer Youth - IVY The Interreg Volunteer Youth (IVY) is a programme of the European Commission to promote cooperation thanks to volunteers.

IVI volunteers hosted by Interreg programmes and project beneficiaries make the benefits of cooperation visible. The Interreg Volunteer Youth (IVY) initiative was launched by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional & Urban Policy (DG REGIO) in 2017. IVY offers the possibility to young people aged 18-30 to serve as volunteers in programmes and related projects promoting European

Territorial Cooperation. The initiative is aimed at involving young volunteers to support, promote and report the concrete achievements of Interreg programmes and projects, as well as generally promote cooperation across European borders and related values such as solidarity. IVY gives volunteers the opportunity to familiarise with the Interreg programmes and projects, make them aware of the many benefits of collaboration across borders as well as enhance their sense of European solidarity, citizenship and civic engagement. Moreover, thanks to IVY, volunteers acquire a unique experience of personal growth as well as enhancing and gaining skills that they can employ in their future experiences. Each experience is between 2 and 6 month long, volunteers receive financial support for their stay and travel, as well as insurance. Applications are received on a rolling basis. The Association of European Border Regions (AEBR) manages the initiative on behalf of DG REGIO. For more information, visit our website: https://www.interregyouth.com/

Post-2027 consultation: voices of Interreg volunteers

Re-watch the online event organized by the European Commission's DG REGIO and Association of European Border Regions - AEBR / AGEG / ARFE, which took place on 9 July, where distinguished speakers addressed the importance of territorial cooperation and the contribution of young people to Interreg.

Today's video is a trim of the opening speech of Jean-Pierre Halkin, Head of Interreg and Cross-Border Cooperation and Internal Borders Unit at DG REGIO.
Jean-Pierre's words give us a vivid picture of the great impact Interreg has in creating cohesion among the European Union Members and Partners, especially in border areas.

Looking forward in his speech, the contribution of the younger generation becomes crucial to make sure that Interreg continues to be a meaningful resource for the present and future of European citizens.

Accept Jean-Pierre's invitation and share your vision on the Future Interreg: "We don't want to speak in your behalf, we want to have your message".
The IVY Consultation on the future Interreg is open and all current and former IVY Volunteers are welcome to share their vision on territorial cooperation post-2027.

Are you or have you been an IVY Volunteer? Have your perspective taken into consideration, answer now the IVY Consultation on the Future Interreg! You have time until 9th September - https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/Interreg_Consultation_2024_IVY_volunteers

Welcome to Interreg, Alberto!
🤗 We count on your contribution as a young person co-shaping Territorial Cooperation with professional!

Thanks to Parco Naturale Prealpi Giulie for hosting IVY Volunteers!

🎉Inizia oggi l'esperienza di volontariato di Alberto Madrassi presso l'ente Parco Naturale delle Prealpi Giulie💪

👉Alberto, proveniente da Resia, è un giovane esperto del nostro Parco e della Riserva della Biosfera delle Alpi Giulie: grande amante della natura, già portavoce della Consulta dei Giovani della Riserva della Biosfera, di cui è un attuale membro, ha collezionato numerose esperienze sin da giovanissimo come partecipante alle iniziative del Parco.
Ma è non solo un esperto "di zona". E' infatti uno dei 10 nuovi membri dello Youth Council di The EUROPARC Federation, l’organizzazione che rappresenta oltre 400 aree protette in 39 paesi europei.

🔎Proprio per le sue competenze in materia, Alberto è stato scelto dal nostro Parco per collaborare al progetto Interreg Italy-Slovenia denominato E-Nat2care. Per sei mesi, grazie al programma Interreg Volunteer Youth - IVY, il giovane volontario sarà impegnato in particolare nel campo della comunicazione e della divulgazione dei risultati del progetto, che sviluppa azioni pilota a livello transfrontaliero di monitoraggio di specie definite “bio-indicatori”, atte a sostenere la tutela e lo sviluppo della biodiversità.

🤝Un'esperienza sicuramente arricchente per il nostro nuovo collaboratore ma anche per il nostro Ente. Buon lavoro, Alberto!💪
