Awareness raising initiatives
The Agency for Vocational Education and Training and Adult Education organises an annual Lifelong Learning Week. The goal of the event is to raise awareness about the importance of learning and education. It is an effort to motivate citizens to engage in various forms of learning and realise the existence of non-formal and informal forms of learning. The Lifelong Learning Week is not solely focused on the youth group, but it does encompass that demographic. The event features lectures, workshops, panels, open days, and similar activities. The event was first organised in 2002, and since 2008, it has become an annual occurrence.
In 2014, the National Foundation for Civil Society Development launched a pilot financial support programme that ensures institutional support for stabilisation and/or development of youth-led and for-youth associations.
Eurodesk Network and the AMEUP hold the yearly Time to Move campaign that promotes mobility and non-formal learning.
