Network for Positive Change

1. About us

TDM 2000 International is a vibrant and passionate non-

governmental, non-partisan, non-profit, independent organizationcommitted to foster cooperation across Europe through the establishment

of a vivid network of youth organizations. Founded in 2008 by a group of

young people with extensive international experience in youth work, it

was initially the realization of a dream that in the meantime has

significantly flourished and now embraces organizations from 18 different

countries.

Within our ranks we count with a team of highly qualified

collaborators, with broad experience devising and implementing different

educational projects throughout Europe and other overseas territories.

Indeed, our network is set up by volunteers and professionals with

remarkable expertise in fields such as training and coaching, project

management, intercultural communication, fundraising and advocacy,

lobbying or policy-making.

2. Vision

A world characterized by higher levels of social cohesion, respect for

Human Rights, intercultural understanding, cross-borders cooperation,

youth empowerment, participation and employability.

3. Mission Statement

TDM 2000 International commits to establishing an effective

network of cooperation between youth organizations through which we

shall develop concerted strategies to approach common issues that affect

youth, thus becoming a main promoter of the empowerment of young

people, youth associations and their communities as a whole.

4. Main goals

Challenge the paradigms of ethnocentric education systems and

promote a more inclusive learning process that integrates contents

non conformant to the dominant culture, thus fostering the

development of a bigger respect for cultural diversity;

Advocate for a world where peace, intercultural understanding,

pluralism, non-discrimination, justice, equal opportunities and

solidarity prevail; Create and provide tools and opportunities which may allow

youngsters to enhance their personal and professional development,fostering consciousness in individual capabilities and developingcompetences increasingly required by the labour market, thusstriving to achieve higher rates of youth employment;

Encourage young people to research and thus realize the importanceof their civil engagement and foster the acknowledgement of theirprospective role as main actors of social change, thereforepromoting a process of empowerment that shall lead to a moreactive participation of youth in the life and the decision-makingprocesses of their communities;

Promote strong synergies of cooperation between the public sector,the private sector and civil society through capacity-building,lobbying and advocacy processes in order to ensure sociallyresponsible management and that young people take part in policy-making;

Build a structure of support to youth organizations that stimulatesinternational cooperation for development through sustained

transfer of knowledge and exchange of best practices whilstfacilitating reflection and debate at a transnational level.

5. Strategy

TDM 2000 International is based on the same values and ideals that

led us to its creation in 2008 and thus maintains the compromise of

striving for the empowerment of young people, youth associations and

their communities as a whole.

This does not mean that our network forgot to adapt to the rapidly

changing context that surrounds us. Indeed, we are undertaking

considerable adaptations of our structure so as to more efficiently serve

the aims we were set upon.For the near future we envisage a sustained growth both in the

quality and in the impact of our actions. This invigorated strategy

embraces a strong focus on the delivery of initiatives, mechanisms and

contents that may, on the one hand, enhance the engagement of both

youth and CSOs, while on the other hand, it may also allow a greater

sharing and dissemination of the outcomes of our work.

Furthermore, we plan to increase the number of initiatives and

projects put forth by our organization, thus improving the access of young

people to different opportunities for learning, participating and takingaction.

6. Activities
