EDU-LAB: A STRATEGIC PROJECT FOR THE DANUBE REGION

We are glad to announce that EDU-LAB has been officially endorsed as an EUSDR Strategic Project.

The EUSDR is the European Commission's strategy for the Danube region. During the latest NCs (National Coordinators) meeting on 13 June 2017 in Budapest nine projects were chosen as having strategic importance for the Danube region and EDU-LAB was one of them!

EUSDR Strategic Projects are projects with high visibility for the EUSDR and are optimal for demonstrating the progress achieved in implementing it, as well as showing the way for future projects.

For more information about EUSDR Strategic Projects you can take a look at the Concept Paper for EUSDR Strategic Projects (PDF).

Our first EUROPEAN SOLIDARITY CORPS VOLUNTEER

We are glad to welcome our first volunteer for the EDU-LAB project, Theodoros Plessas from Athens, Greece.

Theodoros was recruited through the Association of European Border Regions' (AEBR) Interreg Volunteer Youth program, which in turn discovered him through the European Solidarity Corps portal, a new European Union initiative to enable young people to volunteer in projects, actively working for the benefit of local communities all around Europe.
