Photo Competition: Power of Intercultural & Interreligious Dialogue, 2016

The European Cooperative Youth Network (ECYON) is a community of youth organizations, youth workers and young activists from various parts of Europe. Members of the ECYON family cooperate with each other by sharing best practices and ideas, developing partnerships, creating joint projects, initiating campaigns, and supporting each other in diverse areas. We mainly focus on the topics of human rights, democracy, and intercultural dialogue through activities at European level. And our conception of Europe is larger than the EU, including the entire Balkans, Caucasus and more. Through constant communication and cooperation, both individual and organizational members of the ECYON constitute a “European Public Sphere” that extends beyond national borders.

As part of the project “Power of Intercultural and Interreligious Dialogue“, the ECYON is organizing an international photo competition for young people (preferably aged between 18 and 30) from Albania, Armenia, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine
