About POYWE
POYWE (Professional Open Youth Work in Europe) is a network of youth work organisations working together to strengthen cooperation, enhance quality and give a common voice to the field of professional open youth work on a European level.
We do this by facilitating knowledge and experience sharing between the members of the network, developing cross-national innovative projects, and influencing the policy development and discourse within the field. We also actively participate in important policy forums for youth work in Europe such as the Europe Goes Local initiative and the Bonn Process. POYWE has for many years been leading in developing cross-national competence and frameworks for the field of professional open youth work.
