COOPOWER – Strengthening cooperative employment practices for the empowerment of vulnerable youth – works to improve labour market integration and social inclusion through stronger cooperation between actors in youth services, employment, education, social services, public administration, research and civil society.
Connecting local experience across countries
The HUB provides a shared space for practitioners, researchers, policymakers, young people and other stakeholders to exchange knowledge and experience across countries. It connects the work taking place in the project’s Local Cooperation Incubators and pilot actions with wider transnational discussion and learning.
The platform brings together project news and events, resources and good practices, insights from local activities, youth perspectives and policy-related materials. It will also support COOPOWER activities including the Dialogue for Youth events, webinars and podcasts, the Policy Dialogue Forum and the project’s Final Policy Conference.
As a COOPOWER project partner, ZSI is a core member of the Transnational Dialogue HUB and contributes to linking local project activities with wider exchange across the Danube Region.
A flexible way to get involved
Participation in the HUB is open beyond the project consortium, and there are no mandatory commitments for members. Stakeholders can decide how actively they want to participate depending on their interests, expertise and availability.
HUB members may, for example:
- join and share COOPOWER webinars, podcasts and events;
- review and comment on project materials, including strategies, pilot evaluations and other project outputs;
- share relevant initiatives, events, research, methodologies and good practices with the HUB community;
- contribute national, local or sector-specific perspectives and professional experience;
- connect with stakeholders from other countries and explore opportunities for cooperation.
This makes the HUB more than a channel for receiving information about COOPOWER. It is intended as a two-way transnational platform where members can contribute their own knowledge, provide input into project results and connect with others working on similar challenges.
Members may also gain visibility through the HUB platform and use it to share relevant activities or cooperation opportunities with the wider network.
