Eurodesk is a European youth information network created in 1990.
As a support organisation to Erasmus+, Eurodesk makes information on learning mobility comprehensive and accessible to young people and those who work with them.
With a network of 39 Eurodesk Centres connected to local information providers in 37 European countries, Eurodesk raises awareness on European opportunities and encourages young people to become active citizens.
Eurodesk federates over 3008 so-called “multipliers and ambassadors” that are regional or local organisations
working with young people, delivering youth information and advising young people on mobility
opportunities.
The Eurodesk Awards were established in 2011 to celebrate the day-to-day work of Eurodesk’s
local Multipliers, who are helping young people discover and seize the numerous opportunities
Europe has to offer.
The organiser of the Eurodesk Awards 2023 initiative, on behalf of the Eurodesk network, is Eurodesk Brussels Link. In 2023 the organiser received 48 applications from 15 countries.
