Mission/Strategy
The objective of EvalYouth Task Force 1 (TF1) is to increase the involvement of YEEs in VOPE activities, governance, and leadership.
The rationales for this work are:
- To motivate YEEs to become more involved in VOPE governance, rather than only participating in VOPE activities, while also taking into account certain regional dimensions
- To work with VOPEs to bolster the inclusion of YEEs in their governance bodies and capacity building programs
- To contribute to strengthening individual and institutional capacities of YEEs and VOPEs.
To meet its objectives, TF1 implements four main types of activities: webinars, EY chapter success stories, toolkit development and a video campaign. Each activity is governed and implemented by a Working Group.
Working Group 1: Global and Regional Webinars
