SPONSOR VOLUNTEER DONATE

Youth in Romania are considered to be a vulnerable group and risk social exclusion.

The Youth Engagement Index is a research oriented project, aiming to provide employers, decision-makers, NGOs and youth workers a better understanding of the Romanian youth.


Objectives:

1.Identifying and evaluating the level of young population involvement in the development of the Romanian society, their values, attitudes and perception of success.

2.Identifying and evaluating the individual, professional and social values required by employers from the young graduates before entering the labor market.

3.Evaluating the degree of availability, the conditions and the means through which the employers would directly involve in the measures undertaken by the Academic and ONG environments in order to increase the young population interest in developing the Romanian society.

The European Foundation for Engaged Youth (EFEY) invites all Romanians to join the campaign “De 1 Decembrie, ROMANESTE-TE!”.

During the period November 20 – December 10 2013, all Romanians are invited to give Romania a gift for its anniversary.
