The annual meeting of European coordinators of MIJARC has taken place in Gozo, with Innovative Youth serving as the host organisation.
During the meeting, representatives from different organisations spent time aligning priorities, making decisions, and planning ahead.
Among the participants were organisations from countries such as Armenia, Germany, and France, among others.
Innovative Youth played a key role as an active and engaged member in both decision-making processes and the various programmes run by MIJARC, supporting young people across Europe in areas such as ideas, policy, and education.
The meeting aimed to establish the agenda for 2026, taking decisions on key issues such as dates, events, new members, and partnerships. It also focused on developing strategies to address potential challenges related to the organisation of events and participants, as well as securing financial support from various entities across Europe.
The ideas and perspectives shared by members were considered by the Board and will be presented at the upcoming General Assembly in May in Bulgaria, where Innovative Youth will also be represented by its delegates.
President Ryan Cefai Mercieca explained that this will be an important opportunity for young people from Malta and Gozo to participate.
The meeting proved to be a success, achieving its intended objectives, with Innovative Youth playing a significant role in the development of new ideas. Participants expressed their satisfaction with their time on the island and their enthusiasm for continuing to count on the involvement of our organization in future events and initiatives.
This gathering reaffirmed the importance of collaboration, shared vision, and active participation in strengthening youth engagement across Europe, paving the way for impactful actions and continued growth in the year ahead.
