Window on the World (WOW)

Project Window on the World (WOW), an Erasmus Plus Strategic Partnership Project being implemented from 2017-2017.

WOW aims to strengthen the capacity of organisations working with youth, by developing a strategic approach that empowers youth practitioners to teach young people about, and for young  people to engage with global and international development issues, and become  global citizens.
