Beskrivning av organisationen

The Institute of Research & Training on European Affairs- I.R.T.E.A. was created by specialized youth workers and experts and aims at becoming a strong Think Tank in Greece and South Europe, while bridging the gap between youth, policy making, society and labour market. With its consultative status to the European Parliament and policy making role at the European Institutions, I.R.T.E.A., aims to support young people, especially those who face a series of barriers, such as social and economic obstacles, and the Greek society in general.
Major goal of the organisation is to promote innovative actions and policies on European issues, structured and open dialogue between the civil society and EU officials and to foster civic engagement, youth active participation and European citizenship through its projects and activities.

I.R.T.E.A.’ s competitive advantages include the interaction with both the Greek and European student community, its expertise in both educational and non-formal learning activities, such as simulations of EU bodies, conferences and researches, its experience in demanding EU projects and the immediate contact with the decision- making centres and the labour market.
