Cooperation and exchange across
European networks in Ireland
This year Euroguidance Ireland continued to
connect with the Time to Move Eurodesk Eu-
rope-wide campaign which informs young people
and those who work with them about opportuni-
ties to work, study, train and volunteer in Europe,
as well as provide useful local contacts in the
area of Youth and European Information. The Ti-
me to Move Campaign 2018 set up 5 regional
events across Ireland, open to a broad spectrum
of guidance professionals, especially those with
fewer opportunities such as unemployed young
people and early school leavers. Information on
Euroguidance and study options in Europe was
included in the presentations to the attendees.
