Network of Youth Engagement - Katerini

Network of Youth Engagement (Δίκτυο Ενεργοποίησης Νέων Κατερίνης) is an open group of 50 young people-students that through meetings closely or online, exchange views, converse and trying to prepare proposals and ideas for Katerini. The network started as an initiative between 5 young people back in 2015. Katerini, like many provincial towns, faces the problem of youth unemployment, but it does not adopt any progressive solutions to create a more sustainable future. Solutions that can improve the service quality and the life of their inhabitants. On the other hand, the existing social problems create further obstacles to the inclusive economic and political participation of young people in their municipality’s issues and deal with the many extreme voices. The network is an action which intends to develop into a social organization for young people of this city, promoting the youth work and social participation.
