CONNECT International held its annual General Assembly in Brussels, bringing together members from across Europe for a dynamic and collaborative meeting. Over the course of the gathering, participants reviewed the network’s achievements from the past year, reflected on ongoing challenges, and engaged in meaningful discussions about the strategic direction of the organization.

A major highlight of the Assembly was the adoption of the Strategic Plan 2026–2030, a comprehensive framework that outlines CONNECT International’s vision, priorities, and key objectives for the next five years. This plan sets a clear roadmap for strengthening youth participation, enhancing digital rights, and supporting innovative youth work practices throughout Europe.

In addition, our network grew by 3 new members in 2025 – European Center of Excellence (Belgium), EcoLogic (North Macedonia), and Foundation AIDA (Italy).

The decisions made at the General Assembly mark an important milestone for the network, reinforcing its role as a leading voice in advocating for youth rights and shaping the future of digital youth work across Europe.
