The team from the Chișinău Municipal Youth Center conducted a study visit to the city of Parma in Italy. During this trip, they had the opportunity to share best practices in the youth sector from both Chișinău and Parma. Given that both cities are candidates for the title of European Youth Capital 2027, this visit was crucial for strengthening relationships and discovering new ways to support young people in both cities.

Simultaneously, we shared our experiences in organizing events and community activities, our personal and professional development projects for young people, financial support programs for youth, the involvement of volunteers, and the approval of the youth development strategy in the capital.

This visit confirmed that together we can build a strong network of Youth Centers that will support and inspire young people. We are excited about future joint projects and the positive impact we will bring to our communities.
