EEE-YFU met with other exchange organisations from the European Youth Forum for two days before the YFJ Comem, which took place from 23-24 April in Brussels. The exchange organisations took this opportunity to discuss how they can cooperate more at the European level, both within and outside the Youth Forum. The organisations that EEE-YFU are cooperating with are EFIL , Erasmus Student Network , Service Civil International , Alliance of European Voluntary Organisations, Youth for Exchange and Understanding and AEGEE .
EEE-YFU were represented at the COMEM by Katrine Korsgaard. Any questions can be directed to

The Volunteer's Guide to European Representation
Members of EEE-YFU's Pool of Representatives have begun to work on the new manual for volunteers, which aims to give advice on youth representation at European level. More information can be found here .
General Meeting 2010
The EEE-YFU General Meeting 2010 will be hosted by YFU Estonia and will take place in Tallinn at the end of the year.
Pool of Representatives
EEE-YFU has established a Pool of Representatives to represent the voice of its members at a European and international level.
The Pool is made up of 22 people from across Europe, all of whom are members of their national YFU organisations and are interested or experienced in representing youth issues at European or international level. It was created to provide EEE-YFU, and therefore its members, with an easily accessible group of motivated people who can participate in working groups, seminars, meetings, conferences, and other events and structures on its behalf. The partcipants have a wide range of experiences and areas of interest, which will allow for EEE-YFU to co-ordinate its representation efforts better and get in touch with more volunteers.

Creation of a European Trainer Network
EEE-YFU has recently created its European Trainer Network (ETN). In order to address the great need for an increase in quality trainers within the European YFU community, EEE-YFU has established a network of trainers who are available to them and their member organisations to organise trainings for trainers, staff and volunteers. It is composed of 21 trainers from 9 different countries who have a wide range of backgrounds and experience.
It is hoped that this new opportunity will be widely used and will subsequently help to foster a stronger relationship and closer co-operation between EEE-YFU, trainers and the European YFU network, and will provide an easily accessible pool of human resources for trainings and seminars for national members. It will help to increase the capacity for multiplication of competences and knowledge within the international YFU network.
For further information on the European Trainer Network, and to find out how you can make use of it, please contact Brian at
